Background Information
Keratins are a large family of proteins that form the intermediate filament cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Keratin expression is highly regulated, tissue specific, and varies according to cell-state. Type I keratins consist of acidic, low molecular weight proteins with MW ranging from 40 kDa (KRT19) to 64 kDa (KRT9). Type 2 keratins consist of basic or neutral, high molecular weight proteins with MW from 52 kDa (KRT8) to 67 kDa (KRT18).Keratin 5, one 58-kD type II keratin, is coexpressed with a 50-kD keratin 14 in stratified squamous epithelia. Keratin 5, one 58-kD type II keratin, is coexpressed with a 50-kD tyK14 in stratified squamous epithelia. This antibody is specifically against keratin 5.
