Down-regulation of kallikrein-related peptidase 5 (<it>KLK5</it>) expression in breast cancer patients: a biomarker for the differential diagnosis of breast lesions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Kallikrein-related peptidase 5 (KLK5) is a secreted trypsin-like protease of the KLK family, encoded by the <it>KLK5 </it>gene. KLK5 has been found to cleave various extracellular matrix components, as well as to activate...
