Quick Overview for Cytokeratin 18 antibody (pSer33) (ABIN197077)

Target: Cytokeratin 18 (KRT18) (Keratin 18 (KRT18))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Cytokeratin 18 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Product Details anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer33

Specificity: Keratin 18 antibody detects endogenous levels of Keratin 18 only when phosphorylated at serine 33.

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human Keratin 18 around the phosphorylation site of serine 33 (A-A-SP-V-Y).

Target Details for Cytokeratin 18

Target: Cytokeratin 18 (KRT18) (Keratin 18 (KRT18))

Alternative Name: Cytokeratin 18

Background: Cytokeratin 18 is an acidic keratin which is found primarily in non squamous epithelia and is present in a majority of adenocarcinomas and ductal carcinomas but not in squamous cell carcinomas. Cytokeratin 18 exists in combination with Cytokeratin 8, a basic keratin. Hepatocellular carcinomas have been reportedly defined by the use of antibodies that recognize only Cytokeratins 8 and 18.Synonyms: CK18, CYK18, Cell proliferation-inducing gene 46 protein, Cytokeratin-18, K18, KRT18, Keratin 18, Keratin type I cytoskeletal 18, Keratin-18
