Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Keratin14 [LL001]
  • Clone: LL001
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human ; Mouse ; Pig
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: 50 kDa
  • Application: IHC ; IF ; Ip ; WB
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: Keratin 14, a type 1 intermediate filament protein, is one of the two keratins which distinguish stratifying epithelial cell types from simple epithelial cell types. This protein can be detected in intermediate filaments and stratified squamous epithelial cells; in the basal (myoepithelial) cells of glandular epithelia and all cells of keratinocyte lineage, including tumours. LL001 therefore characterises stratifying/keratinocyte cell types.
  • Immunogen: Peptide (last 16 carboxy-terminal amino acids of human keratin) coupled to thyroglobulin by the extra Cys added at the N terminus.
  • Isotype: IgG2a kappa
  • Research area: Cell signaling and signal transduction
  • Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14

  • For Research Use Only
