Short Description
Obtain rapid Cytokeratin 18 staining with this fully prepared IHC kit, providing components for a streamlined workflow.
Description
Keratins are a large family of proteins forming the intermediate filament cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Type I keratins, including K9-K23 and hair keratins Ha1-Ha8, are acidic, while Type II keratins (K1-K8 and Hb1-Hb6) are basic or neutral. KRT18 (CYK18, PIG46, K18) is a type I keratin found primarily in non-squamous epithelia and adenocarcinomas but not in squamous cell carcinomas.
