Function[KLK7_MOUSE] May catalyze the degradation of intercellular cohesive structures in the cornified layer of the skin in the continuous shedding of cells from the skin surface. Specific for amino acid residues with aromatic side chains in the P1 position. Cleaves insulin A chain at '14-Tyr-|-Gln-15' and insulin B chain at '6-Leu-|-Cys-7', '16-Tyr-|-Leu-17', '25-Phe-|-Tyr-26' and '26-Tyr-|-Thr-27'. Could play a role in the activation of precursors to inflammatory cytokines. Publication Abstract from PubMedA series of imidazolinylindole derivatives were discovered as novel kallikrein 7 (KLK7, stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme) inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies led to the identification of potent human KLK7 inhibitors. By further modification of the benzenesulfonyl moiety to overcome species differences in inhibitory activity, potent inhibitors against both human and mouse KLK7 were identified. Furthermore, the complex structure of 25 with mouse KLK7 could explain the SAR and the cause of the species differences in inhibitory activity.
