Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar

Kallikrein-3 (PSA) protein, pivotal in the male reproductive system, hydrolyzes semenogelin-1, a seminal vesicle protein. This enzymatic activity initiates seminal coagulum liquefaction, crucial for sperm mobility and fertility. PSA's cleavage of semenogelin-1 highlights its importance in the complex processes of semen physiology and male reproductive function. Kallikrein-3/PSA Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Kallikrein-3/PSA protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

Kallikrein-3 (PSA) protein, pivotal in the male reproductive system, hydrolyzes semenogelin-1, a seminal vesicle protein. This enzymatic activity initiates seminal coagulum liquefaction, crucial for sperm mobility and fertility. PSA's cleavage of semenogelin-1 highlights its importance in the complex processes of semen physiology and male reproductive function. Kallikrein-3/PSA Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Kallikrein-3/PSA protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag.

Background

Kallikrein-3 (PSA) protein plays a pivotal role in the male reproductive system by hydrolyzing semenogelin-1, a seminal vesicle protein. This enzymatic activity is responsible for initiating the liquefaction of the seminal coagulum, a critical step in sperm mobility and overall fertility. PSA's ability to cleave semenogelin-1 underscores its significance in the intricate processes involved in semen physiology and male reproductive function.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to cleave the colorimetric peptide substrate, MeO-Suc-Arg-Pro-Tyr-pNA (HY-P5376). The specific activity is > 200 pmol/min/µg. (Activation description: The proenzyme needs to be activated by Thermolysin for an activated form.)

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, 0.05% Brij-35, 8% trehalose.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O . For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
