Abstract
- The article discusses kallikreins and kallikrein-related peptidases. The author explains that kallikrein is a proteolytic enzyme that creates Lys-bradykinin for L-kininogen. He states that in 1999 investigators applied molecular biology techniques and discovered that the human kallikrein gene locus contains several other genes similar to KLK1. The article also discusses the different substrate specificities and biological functions of peptidases.
