Gene Information

human ... KLK7(5650)

General description

The gene KLK7 (kallikrein-7) is mapped to human chromosome 19q13.4. It belongs to kallikrein-like gene family. KLKs are subgroup of serine proteases. KLK7 is expressed in skin, central nervous system, kidney, mammary and salivary glands. It is a secreted protein.

Immunogen

Kallikrein-7 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

KLK7 (kallikrein-7) is responsible for cleavage of human insulin. Vaspin protein interacts with KLK7 and inhibits KLK7-mediated insulin degradation. Other substrates of KLK7 are midkine, CYR61 (cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61) and tenascin-C. It is also responsible for cleavage of procaspase-14 into an intermediate form, which is crucial for formation of mature form of caspase-14. KLK7 degrades intercellular cohesive structures in the outermost layer of the skin, thereby contributing to the cell shedding process at the skin surface.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Emerging evidence indicates that serine proteases of the tissue kallikrein-related peptidases family (KLK) are implicated in tumorigenesis. We recently reported the ectopic expression of KLK4 and KLK14 in colonic cancers and their signaling to control cell proliferation. Human tissue kallikrein-related
