Anti-KLK7 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein kallikrein related peptidase 7. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 253 amino acid residues and a mass of 27.5 kDa. It has been described to be a secreted protein. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is found to be highly expressed in the skin and is expressed by keratinocytes in the epidermis. A member of the Peptidase S1 protein family, KLK7 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. Synonyms for this target antigen include SCCE, hK7, kallikrein-7, kallikrein 7 (chymotryptic, stratum corneum), serine protease 6, and PRSS6. KLK7 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of KLK7 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
