Background Information

Cytokeratin 18, also known as CK18, is a type I intermediate filament protein which is found primarily in non squamous epithelia and is present in a majority of adenocarcinomas and ductal carcinomas but not in squamous cell carcinomas. CK18 and its coexpressed complementary type II keratin partner, CK8, are persistently expressed in a variety of adult epithelial organs, such as the liver, lung, kidney, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and mammary gland, and are also expressed by cancers that arise from these tissues. In the absence of CK8, the CK18 protein is degraded and keratin intermediate filaments are not formed.
