Intermediate filaments (IF) are proteins which are cytoplasmic or in the case of lamins, nuclear, that form part of the cytoskeletal structures of cells. IF are highly elastic, deformable and aid a cell retain its basic integrity.
There six basic types of IF. Types 1 and 2, Acidic or Keratin, found in epithelial or hair cells. Type 3, found in muscle and endothelial cells, Type 4, found in axons and neurons and Type 5, the nuclear Lamins.
Laminopathies (eg Progeria), can result from IF aberrations.

Cytokeratin (keratin Antibody) K10-1 (AE20) - Mouse Anti-Cytokeratin (keratin) K10.1 0.1 ml
Cytokeratin 10 is a heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins. Cytokeratin 10 is generally associated with keratin 1. It is seen in all suprabasal cell layers including stratum corneum. A number of alleles are known that mainly differ in the Gly-rich region (positions 490-560). Defects in cytokeratin 10 are a cause of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK), also known as bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (BCIE) or bullous erythroderma ichthyosiformis congenita of Brocq. EHK is an hereditary skin disorder characterized by blistering and a marked thickening of the stratum corneum. At birth, affected individuals usually present with redness, blisters and superficial erosions due to cytolysis. Within a few weeks, the erythroderma and blister formation diminish and hyperkeratoses develop. Transmission is autosomal dominant, but most cases are sporadic. Defects in cytokeratin 10 are also a cause of annular epidermolytic ichthyosis (AEI), also known as cyclic ichthyosis with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. AEI resembles clinical and histologic features of both epidermolytic hyperkeratosis and ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens

Cytokeratin (keratin) K2 (AE3) Antibody- Mouse Anti-Cytokeratin (keratin) K2 (AE3)
Cytokeratins, a group of at least 29 different proteins, are characteristic of epithelial and trichocytic cells. Cytokeratins 4, 5, 6 and 8 are members of the type II neutral-to-basic subfamily. Cytokeratin peptide 4 (59 kDa) is the secondary type II keratin expressed in non cornified stratified squamous epithelia. Cytokeratin peptide 5 (58 kDa) is the primary type II keratin in stratified epithelia, while cytokeratin type 8 (52 kDa) is a major type II keratin in simple epithelia. Cytokeratin 6 (56 kDa) is a "hyperproliferation" cytokeratin expressed in tissues with natural or pathological high turnover. Cytokeratins 10, 13 and 18 are members of the type I acidic subfamily. Cytokeratin peptide 10 (56 kDa) is the secondary type I keratin expressed in cornified epithelia. Cytokeratin 13 (54 kDa) is the secondary type I keratin expressed in non-cornified stratified squamous epithelia. Cytokeratin 18 (45 kDa) is the primary type I keratin expressed in simple epithelial cells.
