Background:
Kallikreins (KLKs) belong to the serine protease family of proteolytic enzymes having diverse physiological functions (1). Kallikrein 4 (KLK4), also known as prostase or EMSP1 (enamel matrix serine protease 1), contains one peptidase S1 domain and the expression in prostate is regulated by hormone (1,2). Many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers (3). KLK4 may have additional roles such as functioning as one of the two major enamel proteases identified that process enamel matrix proteins. Defects in KLK4 are the cause of amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A1 (AI2A1) (4).
