Clone Host Grade Applications
Monoclonal Mouse Supernatant IH
Keratin is a family of about 20 proteins that form intermediate filament in epithelial cells. Obligate heteropolymers of a type I and a type II subunit, they contribute to the structure and strength of the cytoskeleton. Keratins include more than 20 unique gene products (termed K1-K20) that are divided into type I (K9-K20) and type II (K1-K8). Most epithelial cells express at least one type I and one type II keratin as their predominant intermediate filament protein complement in an epithelial cell-specific manner. Cytokeratin 5 is a type-II keratin. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. It is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. The pathological role of cytokeratin 5 has been identified in epidermolysis bullosa simplex, epidermolysis bullosa simplex Dowling-Meara type (DM-EBS) and Dowling-Degos disease. It maps to 12q12-q13 region of human chromosome.
