About Klk1

Summary

Enables endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of acute inflammatory response; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and response to nutrient. Located in acrosomal vesicle; apical part of cell; and nucleus. Biomarker of hypertension and pancreatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy; chronic kidney disease; end stage renal disease; hypertension; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human KLK1 (Kallikrein 1).
