| Formulation |
KLK2 protein solution (0.25mg/ml) containing Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
KLK2 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 246 amino acids (25-261 aa) and having a molecular mass of 27.2kDa (Migrates at 28-40kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions).KLK2 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
KLK2 is a part of the grandular kallikrein protein family whose Members are engaged in a diverse array of biological functions. Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases which are clustered on chromosome 19. KLK2 is a highly active trypsin-like serine protease which selectively cleaves at arginine remains. KLK2 is mostly expressed in prostatic tissue and is accountable for cleaving pro-prostate-specific antigen into its enzymatically active form. KLK2 is greatly expressed in prostate tumor cells and may possibly be a prognostic maker for prostate cancer risk. |
| Expression host |
Sf9, Baculovirus cells. |
| Synonyms |
hK2, KLK2A2, Kallikrein-2, Glandular kallikrein-1, hGK-1, issue kallikrein-2, KLK2. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
