Catalogue Number 151124
Applications IHC IF WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Keratin 7
Reactivity Mammalian and Xenopus laevis
Relevance Monoclonal antibody which binds keratin 7.

Background and Research Application
Keratins are a family of intermediate filament proteins that assemble into filaments through forming heterodimers of one type I keratin (keratins 9 to 23) and one type II keratin (keratins 1 to 8). Keratins demonstrate tissue and differentiation specific expression profiles. Keratins 7 and 8 are two closely related type II keratins characteristic of simple epithelia. Keratin 7 is less widespread than keratin 8 and is expressed in sebaceous and sweat glands, blood vessels and some cells of the inner hair root sheath. Keratin 7 is often co-expressed with keratin 19.

LP1K has some weak reactivity with keratin 8 and other type II keratins.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Sonicated cytoskeleton fractions (insoluble in 1% Nonidet-P40) from SV40 transformed neonatal keratinocytes.
Immunogen UniProt ID P08729
Subclass IgG1
Molecular Weight (kDa) 54
Myeloma Used Sp2/0-Ag14
Recommended Growing Conditions DMEM + 5% FCS
Strain Balb/c
Notes Production Details
Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A.

Storage Conditions
Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Points of Interest
As the keratin 7 antigen is found in both healthy and neoplastic cells, antibodies to K7 can be used in immunohistochemistry to distinguish ovarian and transitional cell carcinomas from colonic and prostate cancers, respectively.

Not recommended for fixed tissue immunohistochemistry.

Concentration
