Binding Capacity: N/A

Unit Definition: N/A

Molecular Weight: This protein is fused with 6×His tag at the C-terminus, has a calculated MW of 26.5 kDa. The predicted N-terminus is Glu 19. DTT-reduced Protein migrates as 35-45 kDa due to glycosylation.

Concentration: N/A

Appearance: Lyophilized

Physical form description: Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM Tris, 2 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization.

Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in sterile PBS, pH 7.4 to a concentration of 50 µg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. For extended storage, it is recommended to store at -20°C.

Background Information: Kallikrein 11 (KLK11) is also known as Hippostasin, Serine protease 20, Trypsin-like protease, PRSS20, TLSP, which belongs to the peptidase S1 family and Kallikrein subfamily. KLK11 contains one peptidase S1 domain. KLK11 is expressed in brain, skin and prostate. Isoform 1 is expressed preferentially in brain. Isoform 2 is expressed in prostate. Present in seminal plasma at concentrations ranging from 2 to 37 µg/mL (at protein level). Kallikrein 11 /KLK11 is a possible multifunctional protease and efficiently cleaves 'bz-Phe-Arg-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide', a kallikrein substrate, and weakly cleaves other substrates for kallikrein and trypsin. KLK11 cleaves synthetic peptides after arginine but not lysine residues.

Amino acid sequence: N/A

Handling: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
