Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5653
Gene name Kallikrein related peptidase 6
Gene symbol KLK6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BsspKlk7PRSS18PRSS9SP59hK6
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.41
Summary This gene encodes a member of the kallikrein subfamily of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. T
