Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a Kazal-type serine protease inhibitor that appears to specifically target kallikrein-related peptidase 5 (KLK5) in the palmo-plantar epidermis. KLK5 is an important initiator of skin desquamation, so the encoded protease inhibitor may regulate skin differentiation in the palms of hands and soles of feet. This cationic protein has also been shown to promote keratinocyte migration by activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
