		Technical Data
K0005-08G	KLK5 (Kallikrein-5, Kallikrein-like Protein 2, KLK-L2, Stratum Corneum Tryptic Enzyme, SCTE, UNQ570/PRO1132)

Description:
Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases and are implicated in carcinogenesis. A novel KLK gene, KLK12, is expressed in a variety of tissues including salivary gland, stomach, uterus, lung, thymus, prostate, colon, brain, breast, thyroid, and trachea. It has applications as a novel cancer biomarker.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:4000
Western Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml, observed in human prostate lysates on ~37kD bands
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
