Relevance Clone LHK6 recognizes a protein of 56kDa, identified as cytokeratin 6 (CK6). In humans, multiple isoforms of Cytokeratin 6 (6A-6F), encoded by several highly homologous genes, have distinct tissue expression patterns. Keratins are a family of intermediate filament proteins that assemble into filaments through forming heterodimers of one type I keratin (keratin 9 to 23) and on type II kerating (1 to 8). Keratins demonstrate tissue and differentiation specific expression profiles. Keratins 6,16 and 17 are expressed in suprabasasl keratinocytes of wounded epidermis. Keratin 6 is found in acrosyringeal keratinocyes in normal skin. LHK6 is a very good marker for hyperproliferative keratinocytes.
Host Mouse
Immunogen 11 amino aid sequence GSSTIKYTTTS of K6b C terminal
Positive Control Tonsil or basal cell carcinoma
Subclass IgG2a kappa
Molecular Weight (kDa) 55-57
Myeloma Used Sp2/0-Ag14
Recommended Growing Conditions DMEM + 5% FCS
Notes Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic
Suggested Dilutions: Flow Cytometry (0.5-1ug/million cells); Immunofluorescence (0.5-1ug/ml); Immunohistology (Formalin-fixed) (0.1-0.2ug/ml for 30 min at RT) (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes)
