Selected Variant

A01357-1-Fluoro647

Size: 100 µg/Vial

Product Specifications

Background

Keratin 18, mapped to 12q13.13, is a type I cytokeratin. It is, together with its filament partner keratin 8, perhaps the most commonly found products of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

Function

Involved in the uptake of thrombin-antithrombin complexes by hepatic cells (By similarity) . When phosphorylated, plays a role in filament reorganization. Involved in the delivery of mutated CFTR to the plasma membrane. Together with KRT8, is involved in interleukin-6 (IL-6) -mediated barrier protection. .
