Product details:
Human Kallikrein 6/KLK6 ELISA kit (ab287163) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Kallikrein 6/KLK6 protein in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Kallikrein 6/KLK6 with 15.21 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

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.
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.
