KLK8 Polyclonal Antibody Background :
Kallikrein 8 (hK8), also known as neuropsin, brain serine protease 1 (BSP1), tumor associated differentially expressed gene 14 (TADG14), PRSS19, HNP and ovasin, is a trypsin like serine protease. Originally described from mouse brain, KLK8 was implicated in neural plasticity and learning. Kallikrein 8 is thought to be involved in neurite outgrowth and fasciculation during nervous system development. Kallikrein 8 is induced in neurite injury, and Kallikrein 8 has been shown to be elevated in the hippocampus on Alzheimer’s patients’ brains. Animal models of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) show elevated Kallikrein 8 production. Kallikrein 8 null mice have aberrant synapses in their hippocampus, compared to wild type mice, and are predisposed to seizures. Kallikrein 8 is thought to regulate the early phase of long-term potentiation (LTP), possibly by cleaving fibronectin and other substrates. Kallikrein 8 is also found in the uterus, where it is hormonally regulated. Cervical cancer cell lines express high levels of Kallikrein 8, and it may be useful as a tumor marker. Kallikrein 8 is not limited to the brain and uterus, as many tissues and cell lines make the protein. Endogenous inhibitors include serine protease inhibitor 3 and protein C inhibitor, although Kallikrein 8 can be found complexed to a number of different protease inhibitors. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
