Preparation and Storage

Background: Kallikrein 5

Human tissue Kallikrein 5 (hK5, also known as stratum corneum tryptic enzyme) is a serine protease of the human tissue Kallikrein gene family (1, 2). The deduced amino acid sequence of human Kallikrein 5 consists of a signal peptide (Met1 to Gly22), a pro region (Val23 to Arg66) and a mature/active enzyme (Ile67 to Ser293). Kallikrein 5 is expressed mainly in skin, breast, brain and testis and to a lesser extent in many other tissues (3). Kallikrein 5 overexpression is an indicator of poor prognosis in ovarian cancer (4). Kallikrein 5 is a candidate physiological activator of Kallikrein 7 in the stratum corneum (5).
