Kallikrein 2 blocking peptide

Species: Human

Specificity/Sensitivity: The peptide was used in the production of GTX89122.

Form: Lyophilized powder

Buffer (with preservative): Reconstitute with 200μl distilled water to obtain a 0.5mg/ml peptide solution. Lyophilized from 5% (v/v) acetonitrile/H₂O, no preservative.

Background: This gene encodes a member of the grandular kallikrein protein family. Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases that are clustered on chromosome 19. Members of this family are involved in a diverse array of biological functions. The protein encoded by this gene is a highly active trypsin-like serine protease that selectively cleaves at arginine residues. This protein is primarily expressed in prostatic tissue and is responsible for cleaving pro-prostate-specific antigen into its enzymatically active form. This gene is highly expressed in prostate tumor cells and may be a prognostic maker for prostate cancer risk. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding transcript variants.
