Other Information

**Key Characteristics** KLK5 is a serine-type peptidase that belongs to the kallikrein-related peptidase family. The gene is characterized by its ability to cleave various substrates, including proteins and peptides, through its active site. KLK5 is also known for its involvement in the regulation of cellular processes, such as keratinization, cornification, and the formation of the cornified envelope, which are critical for the development and maintenance of epithelial tissues. One of the key features of KLK5 is its ability to regulate the production of antimicrobial peptides and its positive regulation of g protein-coupled receptor signaling pathways. This suggests that KLK5 plays a role in the immune response and the regulation of cellular signaling pathways. **Pathways and Functions** KLK5 is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Keratinization**: KLK5 is essential for the regulation of keratinization, a process by which epithelial cells undergo a series of changes to form a cornified envelope, which provides structural support and protection to the skin. 2. **Cornification**: KLK5 is involved in the regulation of cornification, a process by which epithelial cells undergo a series of changes to form a cornified envelope. 3. **Proteolysis**: KLK5 is a serine-type endopeptidase that cleaves various substrates, including proteins and peptides, through its active site. 4. **Antimicrobial peptide production**: KLK5 regulates the production of antimicrobial peptides, which are essential for the immune response against pathogens. 5. **G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway**: KLK5 positively regulates the g protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway, which is involved in various cellular processes, including cell signaling and differentiation. **Clinical Significance** KLK5 has been implicated in several diseases and disorders, including: 1. **Psoriasis**: KLK5 is overexpressed in psoriatic skin lesions, suggesting its role in the development of psoriasis. 2. **Alopecia areata**: KLK5 is involved in the regulation of hair follicle development and maintenance, and its dysregulation may contribute to alopecia areata. 3. **Cancer**: KLK5 is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer, suggesting its role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. 4. **Neurological disorders**: KLK5 is involved in the regulation of neural development and maintenance, and its dysregulation may contribute to neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, KLK5 is a multifunctional gene that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes. Its dysregulation may contribute to the development of various diseases and disorders, highlighting the importance of further research into the role of KLK5 in human health and disease.
