General description

SPINK5 (serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 5) gene is localized to human chromosome 5q32, which spans 61kb and contains 33exons. The encoded protein is expressed in oral mucosa, tonsils and thymus. It is also known as lymphoepithelial Kazal-type related inhibitor (LEKTI) and is a multi-domain protein.

Immunogen

Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5 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

SPINK5 (serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 5) is involved in epithila formation where it controls proteolysis. It also plays an essential role in the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes. Mutations in this gene are linked with abnormalities in skin barrier. This gene is also associated with atopic diseases such as atopic dermatitis and asthma. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive ichthyosiform disorder called Netherton syndrome, which is characterized by congenital scaly erytroderma, severe itching, eczema-like rashes, and recurrent asthma and food allergies. Down-regulation of this protein is linked with chronic rhinosinusitis, and is found in patients with intolerance to aspirin.

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.
