Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-Cytokeratin 2e [LHK2E]
- Alternate names: CK 2e antibody, Cytokeratin-2e antibody, Epithelial keratin-2e antibody, K2e antibody, Keratin type II cytoskeletal 2 epidermal antibody, Keratin-2 epidermis antibody, KRT2 antibody, KRT2A antibody, KRT2E antibody, Type-II keratin Kb2 antibody
- Clone: LHK2E
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse
- Application: IHC ; WB
- Strain: Balb/c
- Description: The cytoskeleton in keratinocytes is a complex of highly homologous structural proteins derived from two families of type I and type II polypeptides. Keratin K2e is a type II polypeptide that is expressed in epidermis late in differentiation. K2e expression in skin is sensitive to keratinocyte activation but its up-regulation in oral lesions is a reflection of the degree of orthokeratinization.
- Immunogen: C terminus of the K2e polypeptide (synthetic peptide NH2-GEAFGSSVTFSFR-COOH)
- Isotype: IgM
- Research area: Cancer; Cell Signaling & Signal Transduction
- Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14
- For Research Use Only
