Deep research (falcon / perplexity-lite) failed; notes from cached publications and UniProt P20151.

- Purified active from seminal plasma PMID:9042371.
- Activates pro-PSA, pro-hK2 and pro-uPA PMID:10209959; recombinant pro-PSA activated by hK2 PMID:9261179.
- Complexes with serpins PCI, PAI-1, ACT, PI-6 [PMID:10209959; PMID:10463585].
