Anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody, clone CK2 (Ascites Free)

产品说明

一般描述

Cytokeratin 18, also known as Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 18, Cell proliferation-inducing gene 46 protein, CK-18, Keratin-18, or K18, and encoded by the gene KRT18/CYK18/PIG46, is involved in the uptake of thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes by hepatic cells. When the protein is phosphorylated it plays a role in filament reorganization. Cytokeratin-18 together keratin-8 and IL-6 are involved in skin barrier protection too, and cytokeratin-18 is often complexed with Cytokeratin 8. Cytokeratin-18 is expressed in colon, placenta, liver epithelia and many other tissues. Cytokeratin 18 in epithelial cells is cleaved by caspases during apoptosis to produce apoptotic specific CK-18 fragment that is the basis of many apoptosis detection assays.

特异性

The antibody reacts with human cytokeratin 18 and is used for staining research samples of a wide variety of simple epithelia and simple glandular epithelia (e. g. intestinal, respiratory and urinary epithelia) and transitional epithelia (e. g. bladder), but stratified squamous epithelia are not stained (e. g. esophagus, epidermis).

免疫原

Cytoskeletal preparation of HeLa cells expressing human Cytokeratin 18.
