Introduction: Recent studies report the presence of KLK3 in women serum, KLK3 is excreted by Skene glands, it is involved in the production of cervical-vaginal fluid (CVF). Activation of KLK3 is pH depending, it has been hypothesized to have antimicrobial, immuno-regulator activity and vaginal and cervical epithelial desquamation. We intend to verify if KLK3 is present in female serum, in which menstrual cycle phases KLK3 ...
