Description: | Kallikreins are a group of serine proteases manifesting diverse physiological functions. The glandular kallikreins are a distinct group of serine proteases with an ability to release vasoactive peptides from kininogen in vitro, although the kininogenase activity of different kallikreins is highly variable. Glandular kallikreins cleave Met-Lys and Arg-Ser bonds in kininogen to release Lys-bradykinin. Many kallikrein genes are differentially expressed in various malignancies. Human glandular kallikrein (hK2; encoded by the KLK2 gene) is an emerging tumor marker for prostate cancer. |
Further Information: | This Kallikrein 2 (KLK2) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 166-197 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Kallikrein 2 (KLK2). |
