Gene Information

human ... KRT15(3866)

General description

Anti-Keratin 15 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Keratin 15 protein.
Keratin 15 (KRT15)/cytokeratin 15, a type I keratin, belongs to the keratin (KRT) gene family. It is expressed in basal keratinocytes of stratified epithelium. KRT15 gene is located on human chromosome 17q21.2. Anti-Keratin 15 antibody detects endogenous levels of total Keratin 15 protein.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Keratin 15.

Immunogen Range: 1-50

Application

Anti-Keratin 15 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: immunohistochemistry (1:100), immunofluorescence (1:100), immunostaining

Biochem/physiol Actions

Keratin 15 (KRT15) participates in maintaining cytoplasmic stability. It acts as a marker for skin stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. KRT15 plays a major role in epidermal homeostasis. It is associated with tumorigenesis. KRT15 might serve as a biomarker in predicting the prognosis of breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) patients. Overexpression of the KRT15 gene is seen in squamous-cell carcinoma.
