Summary: Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including keratinocyte proliferation; negative regulation of axon regeneration; and negative regulation of myelination. Predicted to act upstream of or within synapse organization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of serine protease inhibitor complex. Predicted to be active in secretory granule. Orthologous to human KLK8 (kallikrein related peptidase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

our data suggest that KLK8 may promote cardiomyocyte hypertrophy through EGF signaling- and PARs-dependent but a kinin receptor-independent pathway. It is implied that different KLK family members can subtly regulate cardiac function and remodeling.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
