Product overview
Abcam’s KLK6 Human ELISA Kit (ab193706) is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human KLK6 in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatant.
This assay employs an antibody specific for human KLK6 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and the immobilized antibody captures KLK6 present in the samples. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-human KLK6 antibody is added. After washing away any unbound biotinylated antibody, an HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. After incubation, the wells are again washed, followed by the addition of a TMB substrate solution to the wells. Color will develop in proportion to the amount of KLK6 bound in each well. Addition of the Stop Solution will change the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Function
Serine protease which exhibits a preference for Arg over Lys in the substrate P1 position and for Ser or Pro in the P2 position. Shows activity against amyloid precursor protein, myelin basic protein, gelatin, casein and extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin and collagen. Degrades alpha-synuclein and prevents its polymerization, indicating that it may be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease and other synucleinopathies. May be involved in regulation of axon outgrowth following spinal cord injury. Tumor cells treated with a neutralizing KLK6 antibody migrate less than control cells, suggesting a role in invasion and metastasis. -
Tissue specificity
In fluids, highest levels found in milk of lactating women followed by cerebrospinal fluid, nipple aspirate fluid and breast cyst fluid. Also found in serum, seminal plasma and some amniotic fluids and breast tumor cytosolic extracts. Not detected in urine. At the tissue level, highest concentrations found in glandular tissues such as salivary glands followed by lung, colon, fallopian tube, placenta, breast, pituitary and kidney. Not detected in skin, spleen, bone, thyroid, heart, ureter, liver, muscle, endometrium, testis, pancreas, seminal vesicle, ovary, adrenals and prostate. In brain, detected in gray matter neurons (at protein level). Colocalizes with pathological inclusions such as Lewy bodies and glial cytoplasmic inclusions. Overexpressed in primary breast tumors but not expressed in metastatic tumors. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Kallikrein subfamily.
Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsInactivated by autolytic cleavage after Arg-80. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. Nucleus > nucleolus. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Microsome. In brain, detected in the nucleus of glial cells and in the nucleus and cytoplasm of neurons. Detected in the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of HEK-293 cells and released into the cytoplasm following cell stress. - Information by UniProt
