KRT13 Antibody

KRT13 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 its gene and keratin 4 have been associated with the autosomal dominant disorder White Sponge Nevus.

This KRT13 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 106-138 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human KRT13.

Store at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
