About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for KLK8:
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 four transcript variants encoding four different isoforms. The isoforms
exhibit distinct patterns of expression that suggest roles in brain plasticity and ovarian cancer. (provided by
RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: KLK8_HUMAN, O60259
Function: Serine protease which is capable of degrading a number of proteins such as casein, fibrinogen, kininogen,
fibronectin and collagen type IV. Also cleaves L1CAM in response to increased neural activity. Induces neurite
outgrowth and fasciculation of cultured hippocampal neurons. Plays a role in the formation and maturation of orphan
and small synaptic boutons in the Schaffer-collateral pathway, regulates Schaffer-collateral long-term potentiation in
the hippocampus and is required for memory acquisition and synaptic plasticity. Involved in skin desquamation and
keratinocyte proliferation. Plays a role in the secondary phase of pathogenesis following spinal cord injury

    Tissue specificity: Isoform 1 is predominantly expressed in the pancreas. Isoform 2 is expressed in adult brain and
    hippocampus. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are found in fetal brain and placenta. Detected in salivary gland, uterus,
    thymus, breast, testis and kidney but not in spleen, liver, lung or normal ovarian tissue. Displays an 11.5-fold
    increase in Alzheimer disease hippocampus compared to controls and is overexpressed in some ovarian carcinomas.
    Expressed at low levels in normal skin while high levels are found in psoriasis vulgaris, seborrheic keratosis, lichen
