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
