Summary
KLK4 (kallikrein related peptidase 4, HGNC:6365) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.41, encoding Kallikrein-4 (Q9Y5K2). Has a major role in enamel formation.
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. In some tissues its expression is hormonally regulated. The expression pattern of a similar mouse protein in murine developing teeth supports a role for the protein in the degradation of enamel proteins. Several transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.
