Recombinant Human Kallikrein-5

Kallikrein-5, Kallikrein-like protein 2, KLK-L2, Stratum corneum tryptic enzyme, KLK5, SCTE, UNQ570/PRO1132, KLKL2.

Kallikrein-5 (KLK5) is a member of the serine protease family of proteolytic enzymes. KLK5 is expressed in various tissues including the salivary gland, stomach, uterus, lung, thymus, prostate, colon, brain, thyroid, and trachea. KLK5 expression is up-regulated by estrogens and progestins. KLK5 is secreted and may be involved in desquamation in the epidermis. Kallikreins which are a subgroup of serine proteases, have distinct physiological functions. Many kallikreins are associated with carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. The KLK5 gene is one of the 15 kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19.

Kallikrein-5 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 236 amino acids (67-293 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 26.2kDa (Migrates at 28-40kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions).
KLK5 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
