Recombinant Human Cytokeratin 8 (421-484 a.a) is supplied as a recombinant protein for in vitro research use.
Background
Cytokeratin 8, also known as KRT8, is a part of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12 which plays an important role in the structural integrity of epithelial cells. KRT8 pairs with keratin 18 (a type I keratin) to form heterodimers, which assemble into intermediate filaments. KRT8 takes part in retaining cellular structural integrity and also participates in signal transduction and cellular differentiation.
Product format
Provided as a recombinant protein suitable for in vitro workflows such as binding studies, screening, and assay development. Refer to the specifications table for expression format and molecular properties.
