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, allowing the controlled shedding of cells from the outermost layer of the skin. KLK7 Antibody / Kallikrein 7 clone KLK7/4693 recognizes this epidermal protease and enables detection of KLK7 expression in studies examining skin biology and epithelial differentiation.
KLK7 is also widely known as stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme (SCCE), reflecting its proteolytic activity in 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 are therefore valuable tools for studying epidermal maturation, keratinocyte biology, and mechanisms regulating skin barrier integrity.
Alterations in KLK7 activity have been associated with several dermatological conditions in which epidermal barrier function and protease regulation are disrupted. Abnormal KLK7 expression or activity has been linked to inflammatory skin disorders and diseases characterized by defective desquamation. Because of this biological role, detection of KLK7 expression is frequently used in research examining epidermal differentiation pathways and the molecular mechanisms underlying skin disease.
KLK7 Antibody / Kallikrein 7 clone KLK7/4693 is a mouse monoclonal antibody designed to recognize KLK7 in epithelial tissues and biological samples used in dermatological and epithelial research. Antibodies directed against KLK7 allow researchers to examine localization of this protease in epidermal layers and evaluate expression patterns associated with keratinocyte differentiation.
Detection of KLK7 using KLK7 Antibody / Kallikrein 7 (clone KLK7/4693) 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 and disease-associated conditions.
Optimal dilution of the KLK7 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 KLK7 antibody.
Aliquot the KLK7 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
