Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Keratin18 [LC18N]
  • Clone: LC18N
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IHC ; IF ; WB
  • Description: Keratins are a family of intermediate filament proteins that assemble into filaments through forming heterodimers of one type I keratin (keratins 9 to 23) and one type II keratin (keratins 1 to 8). Keratins demonstrate tissue and differentiation specific expression profiles. Keratins 8 and 18 are two of the first keratins expressed in the embryo, and persist into adult tissues as the keratin pair representing minimal epithelial keratin expression. Keratins 8 and 18 are major components of all simple epithelia (but not of stratified squamous epithelia) and adenocarcinomas.
  • Immunogen: Synthetic pepide of N terminus of human keratin 18 (NH2- SFTTRSTFSC)
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Cell signaling and signal transduction

  • For Research Use Only
