Lympho-epithelial Kazal-type-related inhibitor (LEKTI) also known as serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5 (SPINK5) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPINK5 gene.[5][6]

Structure and function

LEKTI is a large multidomain

beta-sheet. All domains (excepting 1, 2 and 15) contain an arginine at P1, indicating trypsin-like proteases are the likely targets.[7]

In the epidermis, LEKTI is implicated in the regulation of

Recombinant full length LEKTI inhibits the exogenous serine proteases trypsin, plasmin, subtilisin A, cathepsin G and human neutrophil elastase.[9]

LEKTI may play a role in skin and hair morphogenesis and anti-inflammatory and/or antimicrobial protection of mucous epithelia.[6]

Gene

SPINK5 is a member of a gene family cluster located on

chromosome 5q32,[10] which encode inhibitors of serine proteases. This includes other epidermal proteins SPINK6 and LEKTI-2 (SPINK9). The SPINK5 gene is 61 kb in length and contains 33 exons.[7] Alternative processing of SPINK5 results in the formation of three different gene products, which have been identified in differentiated keratinocytes.[11]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the SPINK5 gene result in Netherton syndrome, a disorder characterized by ichthyosis and specific immune system defects.[6]
