Anti-KRT8, clone K8.8

1 mg/ml in sterile PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. KRT8, also called Cytokeratin 8, is a low molecular weight keratin of approximately 50 kDa. It participates in cellular differentiation and signal transduction, protects against apoptosis, stress and injury, and helps maintain cellular structural integrity. KRT8 is primarily found in the non-squamous epithelia and is present in majority of adenocarcinomas and ductal carcinomas. It is absent in squamous cell carcinomas. Protein function: Together with KRT19, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle. [The UniProt Consortium]
