Description Cytokeratin 3 belongs to the intermediate filament family. It is a type II cytokeratin and isspecifically expressed in the corneal epithelium. Cytokeratin 3 associates with Cytokeratin12. Defects in Cytokeratin 3 are a cause of Meesmann corneal dystrophy.
Specificity Cytokeratin 3 antibody, clone AE5 represents an excellent marker for corneal typedifferentiation. Positive for epithelial cells of cornea, snout and some oral mucosa. This antibody has beenused for studying corneal epithelial stem cells. Polypeptide Reacting: Mr 64 000 polypeptide (Keratin K3, formerly also designatedCytokeratin 3) of human corneal epithelium and Keratin K76 (formerly also designatedCytokeratin K2p) of palate epithelium. Reactivities on Cultured Cell Lines: Rabbit corneal epithelial cells. In Cow and Rabbit it reacts with lip and snout epithelia. Species Reactivity: Tested: Human, Rabbit and Bovine.
