protein KRIP1 (kallikrein-related in prostate protein 1, kallikrein-related mRNA protein, KARMA) (KLKP1 KLK31P)

Compartment

cytoplasm, nucleus

Expression

• abundant expression is found in prostate
• restricted to cells of epithelial origin in normal & diseased glands
• very low expression is detected in pancreas & ovary
• induced by androgens

Notes

• was named 'kallikrein-related in prostate protein 1' because this protein is encoded by a transcript from the KLKP1 gene region
• it is encoded in an exon which is similar to the intronic region between exons 1 & 2 of KLK1, KLK2 & KLK3

More general terms

• uncharacterized protein
