Cytokeratin LMW Antibody, anti-human, Vio® R667, REAfinity™，130-125-007，美天旎

Clone REA1241 recognizes the human Cytokeratin LMW (Low Molecular Weight), which includes the cytokeratins 7 and 8. Cytokeratins, which are found in almost all epithelial cells, are polypeptides with keratin-containing intermediate filaments, which ensure form stability and cohesiveness.

Cytokeratin 7, a type II cytokeratin, is located in simple glandular epithelia, and in transitional epithelium but not in colon and prostate, ectocervix, and liver. Cytokeratin 7 is a useful marker for distinguishing ovarian carcinomas, containing Cytokeratin 7, from colon carcinomas. Cytokeratin 8, an intermediate filament protein, which is found in epithelial and carcinoma cells. In adult tissues Cytokeratin 8 is expressed as a heterodimer with Cytokeratin 18. The type I cytokeratin 19 is found in the periderm, the transiently superficial layer that envelops the developing epidermis.

Additional information: Clone REA1241 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
