Cytokeratin LMW Antibody, anti-human, PE, REAfinity™

01MT13546

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 interme
