Evolution of kallikrein-related peptidases in mammals and identification of a genetic locus encoding potential regulatory inhibitors
The human kallikrein locus on chromosome 19 consists of 15 genes encoding serine proteases. Here we review studies on their evolution, which demonstrate that there are several taxon-unique KLK1 paralogs in mouse, rat and horse, but not in primates and many other mammals. Furthermore, the duplication...
