Recombinant Human Cytokeratin 8 His Tag

Source : Escherichia Coli. KRT8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 506 amino acids (1-483 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 56kDa. KRT8 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Cytokeratin 8 (KRT8) belongs to the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. Type I and type II keratins heteropolymerize to form intermediate-sized filaments in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. KRT8 typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. KRT8 has a role in retaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. KRT8 gene mutations cause cryptogenic cirrhosis.
