Sino Biological, a Prendio preferred supplier partner, is leading advancements in biomedical research, particularly in kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs). These multifaceted proteases play critical roles in cancer progression, serving as vital biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Sino Biological offers a comprehensive range of KLK proteins and antibodies essential for research, facilitating studies like isoform mapping and ELISA measurements. Their products, widely cited in prestigious journals, hold promise for treating diseases such as cancer, dermatological disorders, and nervous system diseases, showcasing their commitment to driving innovation in the field.
Kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs), a family of fifteen homologous serine proteases (KLK1-KLK15), exhibit critical roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Notable KLKs, including KLK3, KLK5, KLK6, KLK10, and KLK14, display key roles in regulating cancer genesis, growth, migration, invasion, and chemoresistance, influencing intricate molecular networks associated with cancer cell survival and dissemination. The functional relevance of KLKs in cancer progression makes them important biomarkers and therapeutic targets in various cancers. In translational medicine, KLK1, KLK2, KLK3, KLK5, KLK7, KLK14, and KLKB1 have been utilized for the design of KLK-targeted therapies, holding promise for treating cancers, nervous system diseases, dermatological disorders, and other medical fields. Sino Biological is committed to advance KLK-targeted drug development, providing a comprehensive selection of recombinant KLK proteins and corresponding antibodies, which plays a crucial role in KLK-related research, as demonstrated in studies utilizing these products for isoform mapping, ELISA measurements, and identifying highly expressed kallikreins in specific carcinomas.

KLKs, such as KLK1, KLK2, KLK3, KLK5, KLK7, KLK14, and KLKB1, hold promise in various medical fields (Table 1). KLK1, for instance, shows potential in treating nervous system diseases, autoimmune conditions, stroke, and diabetic kidney disease, emphasizing its relevance in neurology and endocrinology. KLK2 and KLK3 play significant roles in different cancer types, including castration-resistant, metastatic prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer, as well as atopic dermatitis. Dermatological disorders like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and Netherton Syndrome are associated with KLK5 and KLK7, offering avenues for innovative therapies. KLK14's involvement in Netherton Syndrome, prostate cancer, and atopic dermatitis suggests its versatility as a therapeutic target. Additionally, KLKB1's connections to retinopathy, diabetes, macular degeneration, allergies, and coagulopathies underscore its importance in ophthalmology, endocrinology, and hematology.

Sino Biological’s products play a crucial role in KLK-related research, as demonstrated by frequently cited in well-reputed journals. These products support studies such as isozyme mapping, ELISA measurements, and identification of highly expressed Kallikreins in specific carcinomas. Fu et al. used anti-KLK3 rabbit monoclonal antibody (Sino Biological) as an IgG control isotype in the isoform mapping and interactome studies of endogenous TMPRSSS2-ERG fusion protein in VCaP prostate cancer cells by orthogonal immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry assays, supporting the development of more accurate prostate cancer diagnostics.10 Egidi et al. used human KLK-11 and KLK-13 ELISA kits (Sino Biological) to measure KLKs (hK11 and hK13) in preoperative and postoperative serum samples from prostate cancer patients, and found that there was a significant decrease in KLK in postoperative serum.11 In another study, Hashemipour et al. identified that human tissue kallikreins are highly expressed in pleomorphic adenomas and mucoepidermoid carcinomas, where lysate from 293T cells transfected with KLK10 and KLK11 (Sino Biological) were served as controls.12
For the interactome studies, antibody isotype controls included: anti-KLK3 rabbit monoclonal antibody (Sino Biological) as an IgG isotype control for EPR3864(2) antibody in the mass-spectrometric analysis. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcpro.2021.100075
Human KLK-11 and KLK-13 ELISA antibody pair sets (Sino Biological) were used to measure hK11 (Panel a) and hK13 (Panel b) levels (pg/mL ± SE) in sera from patients with localized prostate cancer. T0: preoperative time; T1: 1st postoperative day; T2: 5th postoperative day; T3: 30th postoperative day. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/241780
