“…In fact, it has been proposed that KLK5 autoactivates and initiates a cascade to subsequently activate KLK7 (Brattsand et al, 2005). Guo et al (2020) note that in previous studies, multiple KLKs, including KLK5 and KLK7, are increased in AD (Komatsu et al, 2007;Morizane et al, 2012;Vasilopoulos et al, 2011). However, in this study, the authors report that there were no increases in KLK5 expression in lesional AD skin and that only KLK7 was selectively overexpressed.…”
