basic FUNCTION
| tumor suppressor role in breast and prostate cancer |
|
KLK9 and KLK10, once activated, are unlikely to participate in further pro-KLK activation pathways, although similar to KLK1 they may activate other bioactive peptides |
|
estrogen-sensitive kallikreins with KLK14, and KLK11, all synergistically enhanced and upregulated by androgens in breast cancer cells via a membrane bound androgen receptor |
|
having the ability to inhibit anchorage-independent growth in hepatoma cells |
|
lower KLK10 levels in salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma, suggesting aberrant expression in a tumour that develops primarily from myoepithelial cells |
|
may function as a tumour suppressor by repressing proliferation, enhancing apoptosis and decreasing glucose metabolism in PC3 prostate cancer cells |
