Product Specs

Introduction

Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases with diverse physiological roles. Several kallikreins have been implicated in the development of cancer. Kallikrein-11 (KLK11) is a multifunctional protease and one of the 15 members of the kallikrein subfamily clustered on chromosome 19. KLK11 exhibits enzymatic activity by cleaving synthetic peptides after arginine residues, but not after lysine residues.

Description

Produced in Sf9 insect cells, KLK11 is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 241 amino acids (19-250a.a.). It has a molecular mass of 26.7 kDa; however, its apparent size on SDS-PAGE is estimated to be between 28-40 kDa. This KLK11 protein is expressed with a 9-amino acid His tag at the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered solution, colorless.
Formulation

The KLK11 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL in a buffer consisting of 50mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1M NaCl, 2mM CaCl2, and 10% glycerol.

Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, freezing at -20°C is recommended. To ensure long-term stability, adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity

The purity of KLK11 is determined to be greater than 90.0% by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Synonyms

Kallikrein-11 isoform 1, KLK11, PRSS20, TLSP.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Kallikrein-11 (KLK11) is a member of the kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases, which are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins. Kallikreins are known for their diverse physiological functions and their involvement in various diseases, including cancer .

Gene and Protein Structure

KLK11 is encoded by the KLK11 gene, which is located on chromosome 19. The protein is produced as a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 241 amino acids (19-250a.a.) and has a molecular mass of approximately 26.7 kDa . The recombinant form of KLK11, produced in Sf9 insect cells, includes a 9 amino acid His tag at the C-terminus for purification purposes .

Expression and Purification

The recombinant KLK11 protein is expressed in Sf9 insect cells, a common system for producing recombinant proteins. The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to achieve a purity greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE . The protein is supplied as a sterile filtered, colorless solution containing 50mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1M NaCl, 2mM CaCl2, and 10% glycerol .

Physiological Functions

KLK11 is a multifunctional protease that cleaves synthetic peptides after arginine residues but not lysine residues . It is involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of cell growth, tissue remodeling, and the inflammatory response. KLK11 has also been implicated in the progression of certain cancers, making it a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis .

Stability and Storage

For optimal stability, KLK11 should be stored at 4°C if used within 2-4 weeks. For longer storage periods, it is recommended to freeze the protein at -20°C and add a carrier protein such as 0.1% human serum albumin (HSA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) to prevent degradation . Multiple freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to maintain protein integrity.

Applications

Recombinant KLK11 is used in various research applications, including cell culture studies and biochemical assays. Its role in cancer research is particularly significant, as it helps in understanding the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and developing potential therapeutic strategies .
