About Klk6

Summary

Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in secretory granule. Is expressed in several structures, including brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Lewy body dementia; Parkinson's disease; demyelinating disease; and multiple system atrophy. Orthologous to human KLK6 (Kallikrein related peptidase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
