Kallikrein related peptidase 7 (KLK7) is a secreted serine protease belonging to the human kallikrein family of trypsin-like enzymes and plays a central role in epidermal homeostasis. KLK7 is highly expressed in differentiated keratinocytes of the epidermis and participates in the regulated degradation of corneodesmosomal proteins that maintain adhesion between corneocytes. Through this activity, KLK7 contributes to the physiological process of desquamation, enabling the controlled shedding of cells from the outermost layer of the skin. Kallikrein 7 Antibody / KLK7 clone KLK7/4692 recognizes this epidermal protease and enables detection of KLK7 expression in studies examining skin biology and epithelial differentiation.
KLK7 is also commonly referred to as stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme (SCCE), reflecting its proteolytic activity within the outer layers of the epidermis. Expression of KLK7 is primarily localized to the upper epidermal layers where terminal differentiation of keratinocytes occurs. Proteolytic cleavage of structural proteins by KLK7 contributes to the separation of corneocytes and supports normal turnover of the stratum corneum. Antibodies targeting KLK7 therefore serve as useful tools for studying epidermal maturation, keratinocyte biology, and mechanisms governing skin barrier integrity.
Kallikrein 7 has been implicated in several dermatological conditions in which epidermal barrier function and protease regulation are disrupted. Altered KLK7 activity has been associated with inflammatory skin diseases and disorders characterized by abnormal desquamation. Because of its biological role in epidermal physiology, detection of KLK7 expression is valuable in research examining epidermal differentiation pathways and the molecular mechanisms underlying skin disease.
Kallikrein 7 Antibody / KLK7 clone KLK7/4692 is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed to recognize KLK7 in epithelial tissues and biological samples used in dermatological and epithelial research. Specificity of the antibody was evaluated using large scale protein microarray screening to assess potential off target binding across thousands of human proteins. This validation approach supports selective recognition of the KLK7 protein and helps confirm antibody specificity at the proteome level.
Detection of KLK7 using Kallikrein 7 Antibody / KLK7 (clone KLK7/4692) supports investigations of epidermal protease activity, keratinocyte maturation, and molecular regulation of desquamation. Analysis of KLK7 expression provides insight into skin barrier biology and epithelial tissue remodeling in both normal epidermis and dermatological disease models.
Optimal dilution of the Kallikrein 7 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant fragment of human KLK7 protein (within amino acids 1-200) was used as the immunogen for the Kallikrein 7 antibody.
