Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5650
Gene name Kallikrein related peptidase 7
Gene symbol KLK7
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PRSS6SCCEhK7
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.41
Summary This gene encodes a member of the kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases. These enzymes have diverse physiological functions and many kallikrein genes are biomarkers for cancer. The encoded protein has chymotrypsin-like activity and plays a role in the
