Rabbit anti-Human Cytokeratin 16 Monoclonal Antibody | anti-KRT16 antibody
Anti - Cytokeratin 16
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene 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 and are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. This keratin has been coexpressed with keratin 14 in a number of epithelial tissues, including esophagus, tongue, and hair follicles. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 pachyonychia congenita, non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma and unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
Subunit structure: Heterodimer of a type I and a type II keratin. KRT16 associates with KRT6 isomers. Interacts with TCHP. Interacts with TRADD
By similarity. Ref.11
Tissue specificity: Expressed in the hair follicle, nail bed and in mucosal stratified squamous epithelia and, suprabasally, in oral epithelium and palmoplantar epidermis. Also found in luminal cells of sweat and mammary gland ducts.
Involvement in disease: Pachyonychia congenita 1 (PC1) [MIM:167200]: An autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy resulting in onchyogryposis (thickening and increase in curvature of the nail), palmoplantar keratoderma, follicular hyperkeratosis, and oral leukokeratosis. Hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is usually present.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.8 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.18 Ref.19Keratoderma, palmoplantar, non-epidermolytic, focal (FNEPPK) [MIM:613000]: A dermatological disorder characterized by non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma limited to the pressure points on the balls of the feet, with later mild involvement on the palms. Oral, genital and follicular keratotic lesions are often present.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.13Unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus (UPVN) [MIM:144200]: UPVN is characterized by a localized epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in parts of the right palm and the right sole, following the lines of Blaschko.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.17KRT16 and KRT17 are coexpressed only in pathological situations such as metaplasias and carcinomas of the uterine cervix and in psoriasis vulgaris.
Miscellaneous: There are two types of cytoskeletal and microfibrillar keratin, I (acidic) and II (neutral to basic) (40-55 and 56-70 kDa, respectively).
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
Mass spectrometry: Molecular mass is 50924.66 Da from positions 2 - 473. Determined by MALDI. Ref.10

Product Notes
The KRT16 krt16 (Catalog #AAA684186) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti - Cytokeratin 16 reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Cytokeratin 16 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) - Formalin/Paraffin. IHC-P dilution 1:100 - 1:200; IHC-Fr application and dilution to be tested by the user. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KRT16 krt16 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cytokeratin 16, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
