Extracellular deposits and cytoplasmic expression in most tissues.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly not consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
Malignant cells generally showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Several malignant carcinoids and thyroid cancers showed strong staining.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KLK14 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KLK-L6
Description
Kallikrein-related peptidase 14 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases that have diverse physiological functions such as regulation of blood pressure and desquamation. The altered expression of this gene is implicated in the progression of different cancers including breast and prostate tumors. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate the functional enzyme. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
