  1. Dilute rhKLK1 to 200 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  2. Dilute Thermolysin to 2 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  3. Combine 20 µL of diluted rhKLK1 with 20 µL of diluted Thermolysin for a final concentrations of 100 µg/mL and 1 µg/mL respectively.
  4. Incubate at 37 °C for 1 hour.
  5. Stop the reaction with 40 µL of 20 mM 1,10 Phenanthroline for a final concentration of 10 mM.
  6. Dilute incubated rhKLK1 to 0.4 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  7. Dilute Substrate to 200 µM in Assay Buffer.
  8. Load 50 µL of the 0.4 ng/µL rhKLK1 in a plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL assay buffer and 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate.
  9. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.

Background

Kallikrein 1 (KLK1), also known as tissue kallikrein, is a member of human tissue kallikrein family (1). The best known physiological function of KLK1 is the cleavage of kininogen to release the vasoactive kinin peptide (bradykinin or lysyl-bradykinin), which regulates vasodilation, blood pressure reduction, smooth muscle relaxation and contraction, pain induction and inflammation (2). In addition, KLK1 may play a role in angiogensis and tumorigenesis (2). Human KLK1 precursor contains a signal peptide (residues1 to 18), a short pro peptide (residues 19 to 24) and a mature chain (residues 25 to 262). The purified rhKLK1 contains the mature chain and the propeptide from human KLK5. After being activated by thermolysin, rhKLK1 is active against a fluorogenic peptide substrate described above.
