General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | KLK6 is an epigenetically regulated tumor suppressor in human breast cancer. KLK6 re-expression in nonexpressing MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells results in significant down-regulation of vimentin which represents an established marker of epithelial transition to mesenchymal transition of tumor cells and in concomitant upregulation of calreticulin and epithelial markers cytokeratin 8 and 19. Stable expression of KLK6 reduces proliferation rates, motility, and anchorage-independent growth of MDA-MB-231 cells | Homo sapiens |
