Anti-Kallikrein 10

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Kallikrein-related peptidase 10, also known as KLK10, PRSSL1 or NES1, belongs to the kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases, which are involved in a variety of enzymatic processes. Its encoded protein is secreted and may play a role in suppression of tumorigenesis in breast and prostate cancers. KLK10 contains 12 conserved cysteines in its protease domain that are expected to form 6 disulfide bonds, as in other serine proteases. RT-PCR detected variable levels of KLK10 expression in nearly all of the 35 adult and fetal tissues examined. The gene contains 6 exons, the first of which is noncoding. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Polikoff et al.(1997) mapped the gene to 19q13.3. By genomic sequence analysis,Gan et al.(2000) mapped the gene within the KLK gene cluster on chromosome 19q13. This cluster includes 13 KLK genes and 5 pseudogenes. Protein function: Has a tumor-suppressor role for NES1 in breast and prostate cancer. [The UniProt Consortium]
