Recombinant Human Kallikrein 5/KLK5 (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :30.65kD. Recombinant Human Kallikrein 5 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Val23-Ser293 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many Kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen Kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Its encoded protein is secreted and may play a role in suppression of tumorigenesis in breast and prostate cancers. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
