reactivity :

specificity :
Cytokeratin 14 (CK14) belongs to the type I (or A or acidic) subfamily of low molecular weight keratins and exists in combination with keratin 5 (type II or B or basic). CK14 is found in basal cells of squamous epithelia, some glandular epithelia, myoepithelium, and mesothelial cells. Anti-CK14 is useful in differentiating squamous cell carcinomas from poorly differentiated epithelial tumors. Anti-CK14 is one of the specific basal markers for distinguishing between basal and non-basal subtypes of breast carcinomas. Anti-CK14 is also a good marker for differentiation of intraductal from invasive salivary duct carcinoma by the positive staining of basal cells surrounding the in-situ neoplasm as well as for differentiation of benign prostate from prostate carcinoma. Furthermore, this antibody has been useful in separating oncocytic tumors of the kidney from its renal mimics, and in identifying metaplastic carcinomas of the breast.
form :
200ug/ml of Ab purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G. Prepared in 10mM PBS with 0.05% BSA & 0.05% azide. Also available WITHOUT BSA & azide at 1.0mg/ml.
storage stability :
Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8 degree C. Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 degree C. Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.
tested application :
Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin
app notes :
Flow Cytometry (0.5-1ug/million cells in 0.1ml). Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml). Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2ug/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). Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the keratin family, the most diverse group of intermediate filaments. This gene product, a type I keratin, is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex. At least one pseudogene has been identified at 17p12-p11. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
K14: a type I cytoskeletal keratin. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. There are two types of cytoskeletal and microfibrillar keratin: type I (acidic; 40-55 kDa) [K9 to K20] and type II (neutral to basic; 56-70 kDa) [K1 to K8]. Both a basic and an acidic keratin are required for filament assembly. Generally associates with K5. Protein type: Cytoskeletal. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21.2. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; intermediate filament; keratin filament; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Biological Process: aging; epidermis development; hair cycle; hemidesmosome assembly; intermediate filament bundle assembly. Disease: Dermatopathia Pigmentosa Reticularis; Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Autosomal Recessive 1; Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Dowling-meara Type; Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Generalized; Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex, Localized; Naegeli Syndrome
