XM26: prokaryotic recombinant protein corresponding to 103 amino acid portion of C-terminal region of the human cytokeratin 5 molecule. LL002: Synthetic peptide of the extreme c-terminal of human keratin-14

Cytoplasmic

This antibody cocktail reacts with cytokeratin 5 intermediate filament protein as well as to 50 kD cytokeratin protein designated cytokeratin 14. Basal cells of human epidermis express acidic cytokeratin 14 and basic cytokeratin 5. Cytokeratin 5 is a 58 kD protein which is closely related to cytokeratin 6. Cytokeratin 5 and 6 are expressed in basal cell epithelioma, basal cells of prostate, urothelium, vagina, squamous cell carcinomas of skin, tongue, epiglottis, and in the rectal-anal region. Cytokeratin 5 can be useful in the destinction of mesotheliomas from most adenocarcinomas. Cytokeratin 14 belongs to the type A (acidic) subfamily of low MW cytokeratins and exists in combination with cytokeratin 15. This antibody can be useful to distinguish stratified ephithelial cells from simple epithelial cells.
