Product Description

MA5-13144 targets Cytokeratin Low Molecular Weight in WB, IF and IHC (P) applications and shows reactivity with Bovine, Chicken, Human, mouse, Non-human primate, Rabbit, and Rat samples. This antibody is not recommended for NIH-3T3 cells in immunofluorescent applications. The MA5-13144 immunogen is human epidermal keratin. Cytokeratin pan is part of a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins that are characterized by remarkable biochemical diversity, and represented in human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. Cytokeratins range in molecular weight between 40 kDa- 68 kDa, and an isoelectric pH between 4.9-7.8. The individual human cytokeratins are numbered 1 to 20. The various epithelia in the human body usually express cytokeratins which are not only characteristic of the type of epithelium, but also related to the degree of maturation or differentiation within an epithelium. Cytokeratin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. The cytokeratin antibodies are not only of assistance in the differential diagnosis of tumors using immunohistochemistry on tissue sections, but are also a useful tool in cytopathology and flow cytometric assays.
