LEKTI Antibody (1C11G6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Lympho-epithelial Kazal-type inhibitor (LEKTI) in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). LEKTI plays a crucial role as a serine protease inhibitor, providing essential protection to mucous epithelia against microbial invasion and inflammation, thereby maintaining the integrity of epithelial barriers. LEKTI is predominantly located in the granular and uppermost spinous layers of the epidermis, as well as in the differentiated layers of stratified epithelia, highlighting LEKTI′s importance in epithelial differentiation and function. LEKTI expression is vital for the proper functioning of the skin and mucosal surfaces, as LEKTI helps to regulate proteolytic activity and prevent tissue damage from pathogens. Notably, mutations in the SPINK5 gene, which encodes LEKTI, are linked to Netherton syndrome, a severe autosomal recessive disorder that manifests with symptoms such as atopic dermatitis and hay fever, underscoring LEKTI′s significance in human health. Anti-LEKTI antibody (1C11G6) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying epithelial biology and related disorders, providing insights into the mechanisms of protease inhibition and epithelial protection.
