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.

Notes
Human KLK6 Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human KLK6 in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
Kallikrein 6 also known as KLK6 is a serine protease with notable enzymatic properties. This protein part of the kallikrein family weighs approximately 25 kDa and exhibits chymotrypsin-like activity. KLK6 is highly expressed in the central nervous system and various body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid and milk. Due to this distribution KLK6 may play roles in neurological and physiological processes.
- Biological function summary
KLK6 participates in the degradation of extracellular matrix components. It functions within complex proteolytic cascades facilitating tissue remodeling and repair. Additionally KLK6 interacts with other kallikreins like kallikrein 3 showing intricate regulation within the kallikrein-related peptidase network. This interplay points toward its importance in modulating extracellular environment and cellular interactions.
- Pathways
KLK6 engages in the neurogenic and inflammatory response pathways. It ties into MAPK signaling influencing processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis. Through these pathways KLK6 associates with proteins like MMPs which modulate extracellular matrix dynamics. Its presence in these pathways positions KLK6 as a significant regulatory protein during cellular homeostasis and stress responses.
- Associated diseases and disorders
KLK6 correlates with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. Altered expression and activity levels of KLK6 have implications for disease progression and pathology. In Alzheimer's KLK6 may influence amyloid-beta processing connecting with proteins like APP. In multiple sclerosis KLK6 affects demyelination processes showing potential interactions with myelin-associated proteins. Understanding these relationships can guide therapeutic strategies targeting KLK6-related pathways.
