[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. In some tissues its expression is hormonally regulated. The expression pattern of a similar mouse protein in murine developing teeth supports a role for the protein in the degradation of enamel proteins. Alternate splice variants for this gene have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

From comparative sequence analysis (see table for details), MGI curators have determined that the gene product of Klk4:
participates in the following biological processes:
Annotations directly to cellular component for the gene Klk4 indicate that MGI curators have found no experimental data [literature] to support further annotation to this category at this time.
