Cytokeratin 18 Antibody, anti-human, FITC, REAfinity™

01MT13929

Clone REA1433 specifically recognizes cytokeratin 18 (K18). Cytokeratins are located in the intracytoplasmic cytoskeleton of epithelial tissue. Cytokeratin 18 is frequently used in conjunction with keratin 8 and keratin 19 to differentiate cells of epithelial origin from hematopoietic cells and to enumerate circulating tumor cells in blood. Gene mutations of Keratin 18 lead in cryptogenic cirrhosis.
