	Western blot analysis on HT29 cell lysate using Keratin 18 Antibody

Purification:

Affinity-chromatography

Specificity:

Keratin 18 antibody detects endogenous levels of total Keratin 18

Immunogen:

A synthesized peptide derived from human Keratin 18

Description:

K18 a type I cytoskeletal keratin. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. Keratin 18 and its filament partner keratin 8 are perhaps the most commonly found members of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body.
