This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.
Immunogen
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).
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.
