KLK2 Antibody / Kallikrein 2

KLK2 (KALLIKREIN 2), also called GLANDULAR or PROSTATIC, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLK2 gene, and is particularly associated with prostatic tissue. The KLK2 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. The KLK2 gene is mapped to 19q13.33.And the KLK2 gene contains 5 exons. An alternative KLK2 transcript, which they call KLK2-linked molecule (KLM), that arises from the use of an alternate donor site within intron 1.KLM shares only the N-terminal 15-amino acid signal peptide with the original KLK2 protein; the mature proteins display no similarity.
