Summary: 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 prostate cancer, this gene has increased expression, which indicates its possible use as a diagnostic or prognostic marker for prostate cancer. The gene contains multiple polyadenylation sites and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Identification and characterization of novel KLK15 alternative splice variants and their expression patterns in a wide panel of human cancer and normal cell lines
Title: Identification of six novel alternative transcripts of the human kallikrein-related peptidase 15 (KLK15), using 3'RACE and high-throughput sequencing.
KLK15 may be able to cleave many ECM components, similar to several members of the KLK family. Thus the protease could potentially be linked to tumorigenesis by promoting metastasis via this mechanism.
Title: Biochemical characterization of human tissue kallikrein 15 and examination of its potential role in cancer.
Data provide insights into the localization and possible role of KLK15 in human physiology.
Title: Expression profile of human tissue kallikrein 15 provides preliminary insights into its roles in the prostate and testis.
Pronounced correlations between KLK10/KLK11 (rs = 0.647) and between KLK9/KLK15 (rs = 0.716) mRNA, but not between other combinations, indicate coordinate expression of distinct pairs of peptidases
Title: Clinical relevance of kallikrein-related peptidase 9, 10, 11, and 15 mRNA expression in advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Variations in KLK15, but not KLK11 expression were significantly associated with prognosis in gastric cancer
Title: Prognostic significance of human tissue kallikrein-related peptidases 11 and 15 in gastric cancer.
Advanced pathologic stage was associated with significantly higher expression of KLK15 and PCA3 mRNAs.
Title: Association of transcript levels of 10 established or candidate-biomarker gene targets with cancerous versus non-cancerous prostate tissue from radical prostatectomy specimens.
KLK15 mRNA expression levels are a novel marker for the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Title: Quantified KLK15 gene expression levels discriminate prostate cancer from benign tumors and constitute a novel independent predictor of disease progression.
These findings suggest a role for KLK15 genetic variation in the etiology of prostate cancer among men of European ancestry.
Title: Association between Prostinogen (KLK15) genetic variants and prostate cancer risk and aggressiveness in Australia and a meta-analysis of GWAS data.
association with ovarian cancer survival
Title: A Kallikrein 15 (KLK15) single nucleotide polymorphism located close to a novel exon shows evidence of association with poor ovarian cancer survival.
Multivariate analysis identified dichotomised KLK15 expression, corrected for patient parameters age, preoperative prostate-specific antigen level, pathological tumour stage, Gleason score and surgical margins, as an prognostic factor for poor outcome.
Title: KLK15 is a prognostic marker for progression-free survival in patients with radical prostatectomy.

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.

NR_102274.1 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (7) uses an alternate splice site in two internal exons, compared to variant 4. This variant is represented as non-coding because use of the expected translational start codon, as used in variant 4, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
