Target Details for KRT6A

Target: KRT6A (Keratin 6A (KRT6A))

Alternative Name: Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 6A

Background:

Target Description: This antibody recognizes a protein of 56 kDa, identified as cytokeratin 6 (CK6) or Keratin 6. In humans, multiple isoforms of Cytokeratin 6 (6A-6F), encoded by several highly homologous genes, have distinct tissue expression patterns, and Cytokeratin 6A is the dominant form in epithelial tissue. The gene encoding human Cytokeratin 6A maps to chromosome 12q13, and mutations in this gene are linked to several inheritable hair and skin pathologies. Keratins 6 and 16 are expressed in keratinocytes, which are undergoing rapid turnover in the suprabasal region (also known as hyper-proliferation-related keratins). Cytokeratin 6 is found in hair follicles, suprabasal cells of a variety of internal stratified epithelia, in epidermis, in both normal and hyper-proliferative situations. Epidermal injury results in activation of keratinocytes, which express Cytokeratin 6 and 16. Keratin 6 is strongly expressed in about 75 % of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Expression of Cytokeratin 6 is particularly associated with differentiation.
