GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KLK11 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
PRSS20, TLSP
Description
Kallikrein-related peptidase 11 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms which are differentially expressed.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
