KLK5

KLK5

A gene on chromosome 19q13.33 that encodes a protein thought to be involved in desquamation; it is expressed in the skin, breast, brain and  testes.

Scientists stumble upon potential drug target for diabetes
They assessed cathehcidin and serine protease by analyzing stratum corneum samples obtained with adhesive tape, and quantified expression of the cathehcidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) gene, the matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) gene, and the serine protease-encoding KLK5 gene by studying small skin biopsies.

It is possible that the polymorphism at the adjacent TACR3 may be somehow involved in increasing expression of TLR2 in rosacea and therefore in upregulation of KLK5 in a calcium-dependent manner; possibly PP rosacea patients overreact, resulting in the histogenesis ofrosacea papules and pustules, even though bacterial diversity and quantities are similar in rosacea lesions and in normal skin [34].
