Description
KLK1 (Kallikrein 1) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. This protein is functionally conserved in its capacity to release the vasoactive peptide, Lys-bradykinin, from low molecular weight kininogen. Human tissue kallikrein (KLK1) is a serine protease, a component of the KKS that has been demonstrated to exert pleiotropic beneficial effects in protection from tissue injury through its anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, antifibrotic, and antioxidative actions. Polymorphism of the human tissue kallikrein 1 (KLK1) A1789G gene is associated with susceptibility to hypertension. Diseases associated with KLK1 include Kallikrein, Decreased Urinary Activity Of and Hereditary Angioedema.
