Anti-Human Cytokeratin 18 Antibody (34058) (34058-100ul)

Cytokeratin 18 is a type I cytokeratin. Together with its filament partner cytokeratin 8, it is perhaps the most commonly found products of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Multimers of cytokeratin 18 and cytokeratin 8 are present in simple, glandular, and transitional epithelial cells, but absent from stratified epithelial cells, and are found in adenocarcinomas of simple and glandular epithelium origin and poorly differentiated squamous carcinoma cells.
