Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bradykinin biosynthetic process; left ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis; and tissue kallikrein-kinin cascade. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including acrosomal vesicle; apical part of cell; and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in secretory granule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy; chronic kidney disease; end stage renal disease; hypertension; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to several human genes including KLK1 (kallikrein 1).
