Gene: KLK11

Alternate names for this Gene: PRSS20|TLSP

Gene Summary: 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 and the use of alternate promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms which are differentially expressed.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.41

Description of this Gene: kallikrein related peptidase 11

Type of Gene: protein-coding
