Product details
The Human Kallikrein 8 (KLK8) Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213804) is designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Kallikrein-8 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Kallikrein-8 has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Kallikrein-8 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human Kallikrein-8 amount of sample captured in plate.
Kallikrein-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLK8 gene. Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Alternate splicing of this gene results in four transcript variants encoding four different isoforms. The isoforms exhibit distinct patterns of expression that suggest roles in brain plasticity and ovarian cancer.

Biological function summary
KLK8 involves itself in tissue remodeling and neural plasticity. It interacts with extracellular matrix proteins contributing to cell migration and adhesion. Important in synaptic plasticity KLK8 supports memory formation and learning. KLK8 operates as part of proteolytic cascades and may overlap with other kallikreins in function. Its activity includes modulating neural and skin cells suggesting its importance in cellular differentiation and growth.
Pathways
KLK8 takes part in the kallikrein-kinin system and extracellular matrix degradation pathways. It interacts with proteins such as KLK3 (prostate-specific antigen) within these pathways although KLK3 is more associated with prostate tissue. KLK8's function in these pathways ensures proper maintenance and remodeling of tissue-specific extracellular environments. These activities highlight its relevance in maintaining physiological balance and cellular responses in its primary tissues of expression.
