Kallikrein-related peptidase 5 (KLK5), formerly known as stratum corneum tryptic enzyme (SCTE), is a serine protease expressed in the epidermis. In humans it is encoded by the KLK5 gene. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Its expression is up-regulated by estrogens and progestins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
KLK5 has been suggested to regulate cell shedding (desquamation) in conjunction with KLK7 and KLK14, given its ability to degrade proteins which form the extracellular component of cell junctions in the stratum corneum. It is proposed that KLK5 regulates this process since it is able to self-activate in addition to activating KLK7 and KLK14.
This is a story
As old as time
About losing love
And finding love again.
Givin’ up on everything
losing faith that tryin
Would bring me home,
Take me home once again.
Never stop believin’ in a
Power strong enough
To take me back
And make me feel
The magic of a touch.
You’re everything I need in a woman
You’re what made me believe in love again
You’re where I want to be with a woman
But it’s gonna take a real woman
To make me believe in love again
I wanna believe in love again.
Without even knowin’,
You can read my mind
You sang right through
The hardness of my heart.
Could it be that you’ve been through
Everything I’ve been through?
And now we’ve both found our way in the dark
I was always reachin’
But it was just beyond my touch
I had everything I wanted
But it was never quite enough
You’re everything I need in a woman
You’re what made me believe in love again
You’re where I want to be with a woman
But it’s gonna take a real woman
To make me believe in love again
I wanna believe in love again.
Now gone are the dark days that kept me from the night
Now I know the way my life’s supposed to be
When we’re apart you’re always in my heart
There’s a part of you that’s still a part of me
You’re everything I need in a woman
You’re what made me believe in love
You’re everything I need in a woman
You’re what made me believe in love
You’re everything that’s meant to be in a woman
You’re everything I need in a woman
But it’s gonna take a real woman
To make me believe in love again
