MeSH Heading: Tissue Kallikreins
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.656.300.760.442.875; D08.811.277.656.959.350.442.875; D23.101.140.870
Unique ID: D020840
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020840
Annotation: do not confuse PROSTATE SPECIFIC KALLIKREIN with PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN
Scope Note: A family of trypsin-like SERINE ENDOPEPTIDASES that are expressed in a variety of cell types including human prostate epithelial cells. They are formed from tissue prokallikrein by action with TRYPSIN. They are highly similar to PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN.
