Kallikrein-2 Antibody

Kallikrein-2, also called KLK2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLK2 gene, and is particularly associated with prostatic tissue. It is a member of glandular kallikrein gene family that comprises 25 to 30 highly homologous genes that encode specific proteases involved in the processing of biologically active peptides. An alternative KLK2 transcript, call KLK2-linked molecule (KLM), arises from the use of an alternate donor site within intron one. KLM shares only the N-terminal 15-amino acid signal peptide with the original KLK2 protein; the mature proteins display no similarity.
