Cytokeratin Pan Type II Monoclonal Antibody (AE3), Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Thermo Scientific MA126281

Catalog No. PIMA126281

Description

MA1-26281 detects basic Cytokeratin from human samples. MA1-26281 has been successfully used in immunohistochemistry (paraffin), and Western blot procedures. The MA1-26281 immunogen is human epidermal keratin. This antibody detects basic (Type II) cytokeratins: Cytokeratin 1, Cytokeratin 2, Cytokeratin 3, Cytokeratin 4, Cytokeratin 5, Cytokeratin 6, Cytokeratin 7 and Cytokeratin 8.

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 maligcies. 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. The composition of cytokeratin pairs vary with the epithelial cell type, stage of differentiation, cellular growth environment, and disease state. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis.
