KLK7 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein kallikrein related peptidase 7, which is encoded by the KLK7 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to catalyze the degradation of intercellular cohesive structures in the cornified layer of the skin in the continuous shedding of cells from the skin surface. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 253 residues, a mass of 27.5 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase S1 protein family. It is known to be secreted and is found to be highly expressed in the skin and is expressed by keratinocytes in the epidermis. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include SCCE, hK7, kallikrein-7, kallikrein 7 (chymotryptic, stratum corneum), serine protease 6, and PRSS6.
The detection range for different KLK7 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 31.25 pg/mL and as high as 560 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
