Description

Kallikreins (KLKs) belong to a subgroup of secreted trypsin-like serine proteases within the S1 family (clan SA). So far, the human kallikrein family possesses 15 members and plays a key role in a wide range of processes, which include seminal clot liquefaction, skin desquamation, renal homeostasis, myelination, and enamelogenesis. In mice, repeated duplications of the KLK1 gene resulted in 24 paralogs. Mouse KLK7 was cloned from cDNA, which was derived from mouse tail. The murine cDNA showed 77% homology to human KLK7 cDNA. It had an open-reading frame encoding a protein of 249 amino acids with 82% amino acid sequence homology to the human protein. The murine protein has 21 amino acid signal peptide and a four amino acid propeptide ending with a tryptic cleavage site. The mature protein contains the conserved active site regions of serine proteinases. KLK7 participates in the desquamation process of the stratum corneum through the direct cleavage of corneodesmosin (CDSN) and desmoglein 1 (DSG1). CDSN and DSG1 are adhesive proteins of the extracellular part of the corneodesmosomes, which are the junctional structures that mediate corneocyte cohesion. They are also a key element of the functional protective barrier of human skin. Also, KLK7 regulates caspase-14 maturation during keratinocyte terminal differentiation. Through degradomics, the midkine, CYR61, and tenascin-C were identified as endogenous substrates for KLK7. In addition, KLK7 is overexpressed in human pancreatic, breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers.

Application Notes

This protein is in the latent form and needs to be activated for bioassay.


BioLegend carrier-free recombinant proteins provided in liquid format are shipped on blue-ice. Our comparison testing data indicates that when handled and stored as recommended, the liquid format has equal or better stability and shelf-life compared to commercially available lyophilized proteins after reconstitution. Our liquid proteins are verified in-house to maintain activity after shipping on blue ice and are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you have any concerns, contact us at tech@biolegend.com.

How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?

We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!

What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?

The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.

Have your recombinants been tested for stability?

Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.

Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?

Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.

How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?

Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
