Kallikrein-related peptidases; v.1; characterization, regulation, and interactions within the protease web. by Ed. by Viktor Magdolen, Christian P. Sommerhoff, Hans Fritz, and Manfred Schmitt - 2012

De Gruyter, 2012. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This first of two volumes reviews the genomic and proteomic organization of the peptidases, and their role in human health and disease. Among the topics are single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) locus and their implications in various diseases, molecular recognition properties of KLK on synthetic and endogenous substrates, KLK within the proteolytic web, the role of KLK4 in dental enamel formation, and physiological and pathophysiological roles of KLK in the central nervous system. The second volume looks at peptidases as biomarkers. (2012 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
