Cytokeratins are proteins, containing keratin, constructed of intermediate filaments, found in the cytoskeleton structures of epithelial and trichocytic cells. In form there are two types, basic (Type 1) and neutral (Type 2).
In cell cytoplasm, the intermediate filaments form a network of a fibrous nature between the nucleus and the cell membrane, thus cytokeratins role are seen as important structural support activities. Additionally they are important meditating structures in cell movement and differentiation.

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) K13 Antibody (AE8) - Mouse Anti-Cytokeratin (keratin) K13, AE8 0.1ml
Cytokeratin 13 is a member of the keratin gene family The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins Most of the type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains This type I cytokeratin is paired with keratin 4 and expressed in the suprabasal layers of non-cornified stratified epithelia Mutations in this gene and keratin 4 have been associated with the autosomal dominant disorder White Sponge Nevus This antibody is specific for Cytokeratin 13 which is a marker for oesophageal type differentiation which is expressed by various internal stratified epithelia

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.

Cytokeratin (keratin) K3 (AE5) Antibody- Mouse Anti-Cytokeratin (keratin) K3, AE5
Cytokeratin 3 belongs to the intermediate filament family. It is a type II cytokeratin and is specifically expressed in the corneal epithelium. Cytokeratin 3 associates with Cytokeratin 12. Defects in Cytokeratin 3 are a cause of Meesmann corneal dystrophy.

Cytokeratin Antibody (keratin) K1 type I (AE1) - Mouse Anti-Cytokeratin (keratin) K1 type I (AE1) 0.2ml
Twenty human keratins are resolved with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis into acidic (pI <57) and basic (pI >60) subfamilies The acidic keratins have molecular weights of 565 55 51 50 50 48 46 45 and 40kDa The basic keratins have molecular weights of 65 - 67 64 59 58 56 and 52kDa Members of acidic and basic subfamilies are found together in pairs The composition of keratin pairs varies with cell type differentiation status and environment Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis

Cytokeratin from Hair Cortex (AE13) Antibody- Mouse Anti-Cytokeratin from Hair Cortex, AE13
The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins Most of the type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains and are clustered in a region on chromosome 17q212

Trichohyalin granules (THG) AE15 Antibody- Mouse Anti-trichohyalin granules (THG) AE15
Trichohyalin is a hair follicle protein with characteristics similar to those of profilaggrin (135940) involucrin (147360) and loricrin (152445) Trichohyalin is incorporated into the IF (intermediate filament)-like structures in the mature cells of the hair follicles inner root sheath Like profilaggrin involucrin and loricrin trichohyalin becomes highly crosslinked by the enzyme transglutaminase The trichohyalin molecule has a mass of approximately 200 kD and consists predominantly of tandem repeats of an approximately 23-amino acid sequence Fietz et al (1992) used a sheep trichohyalin cDNA probe in tritium-labeled in situ hybridization to demonstrate that the human THL gene is located in the region 1q211-q23 probably 1q213 Profilaggrin involucrin and loricrin map to the same area suggesting that the 4 proteins form a novel superfamily of epithelial structural proteins By analysis of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids and fluorescence in situ hybridization Lee et al (1993) confirmed the mapping of THL to 1q21
