MSH: A family of trypsin-like SERINE ENDOPEPTIDASES that are expressed in a variety of cell types including human prostate epithelial cells. They are formed from tissue prokallikrein by action with TRYPSIN. They are highly similar to PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN. EC 3.4.21.35.,NCI: The glandular kallikrein gene family comprises 25-30 homologous genes that encode specific proteases involved in the processing of biologically active peptides. Expression of glandular kallikrein, like PSA, seems to be restricted to the prostate. (from OMIM 147960 and NCI)
