NCBI Description

This gene is a member of 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. The product of this gene typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. This protein plays a role in maintaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause cryptogenic cirrhosis.

Uniprot Description

K8: a type II cytoskeletal keratin. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. Phosphorylation of keratins at specific sites affects their organization, assembly dynamics, and their interaction with signaling molecules. Phsophorylated by p38 kinase, regulating cellular keratin filament reorganization. Phosphorylation on serine residues is enhanced during EGF stimulation and mitosis. Mutation of this protein is a risk factor for cryptogenic liver failure.

Protein type: Cytoskeletal

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q13

Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex; intermediate filament cytoskeleton; nuclear matrix; costamere; keratin filament; cytoplasm; intermediate filament; intercellular junction; nucleus; Z disc; sarcolemma

Molecular Function: protein binding; protein complex binding; structural molecule activity

Biological Process: viral reproduction; tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway; response to other organism; sarcomere organization; response to hydrostatic pressure

Disease: Cirrhosis, Familial

Product Notes

The KRT8 krt8 (Catalog #AAA607985) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Keratin 8,18 reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Keratin 8,18 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:25-1:50 for 30 min. at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires digestion of tissue sections with trypsin (1mg/ml PBS, pH 7.4) or pepsin (1mg/ml Tris-HCl, pH 2.0) for 10-15 min at RT. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KRT8 krt8 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 "Keratin 8,18, 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.
