Cytokeratin 5/6 Antibody, anti-human, FITC, REAfinity™

01MT08883

Clone REA913 recognizes the human Cytokeratin 5/6, belonging to the basic or neutral type II cytokeratins. Cytokeratins, which are found in almost all epithelial cells, are polypeptides with keratin-containing intermediate filaments, which ensure form stability and cohesiveness. Cytokeratin 6 is located in proliferating squamous epithelium, whereas Cytokeratin 5 is found in the basal, the intermediate and the superficial cell layers of stratified and transitional epithelia, complex epithelia, and in mesothelial cells and mesothelioma, but not in simple epithelia and in non-epithelial cells.Add
