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. KLK3 is a protease present in seminal plasma. It is thought to function normally in the liquefaction of seminal coagulum, presumably by hydrolysis of the high molecular mass seminal vesicle protein. Serum level of this protein, called PSA in the clinical setting, is useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of prostatic carcinoma.1) Binnie, M.C., et al., Prostate 63(4):309-315 (2005).
Immunogen
This Kallikrein 3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 220-250 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Kallikrein 3.
