More Information
Product Name
Anti-Keratin K8 Polyclonal Antibody
Description
This gene is a member of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. Type I and type II keratins heteropolymerize to form intermediate-sized filaments in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The product of this gene typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. This protein plays a role in maintaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause cryptogenic cirrhosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
Synonyms
K8, KO, CK8, CK-8, CYK8, K2C8, CARD2
Clonality
Polyclonal
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide (C-MSIRVTQKSYKVST) of human keratin K8 (formerly also designated cytokeratin 8), coupled to KLH
