Klk1b4 - kallikrein 1-related pepidase b4

This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the 7S nerve growth factor (NGF) complex that is essential for the differentiation and survival of distinct populations of neurons in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems. This gene is located in a cluster of several related kallikrein genes on chromosome 7. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
