products description :
CytokeRatins are a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, represented in Human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. They range in molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa and isoelectric pH between 4.9 - 7.8. The individual Human cytokeRatins are numbered 1 to 20. The various epithelia in the Human body usually express cytokeRatins which are not only characteristic of the type of epithelium, but also related to the degree of matuRation or differentiation within an epithelium. CytokeRatin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. The cytokeRatin antibodies are not only of assistance in the differential diagnosis of tumors using immunohistochemistry on tissue sections, but are also a useful tool in cytopathology and flow cytometric assays.

ncbi summary :
KRT18 encodes the type I intermediate filament chain keratin 18. Keratin 18, together with its filament partner keratin 8, are perhaps the most commonly found members of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
K18: 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. Keratin 18 and its filament partner keratin 8 are perhaps the most commonly found members of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Defects are a cause of cryptogenic cirrhosis. Protein type: Cytoskeletal; Nucleolus. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q13. Cellular Component: perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cytoplasm; keratin filament; nucleolus; intermediate filament; microtubule organizing center. Molecular Function: protein binding; structural molecule activity. Biological Process: anatomical structure morphogenesis; viral reproduction; tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway; intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; cell cycle; Golgi to plasma membrane CFTR protein transport; negative regulation of apoptosis. Disease: Cirrhosis, Familial
