products description :
Background: Cytokeratin 18 is an acidic keratin which is found primarily in non squamous epithelia and is present in a majority of adenocarcinomas and ductal carcinomas but not in squamous cell carcinomas. Cytokeratin 18 exists in combination with Cytokeratin 8, a basic keratin. Hepatocellular carcinomas have been reportedly defined by the use of antibodies that recognize only Cytokeratins 8 and 18.

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: Nucleolus; Cytoskeletal. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; keratin filament; microtubule organizing center; intermediate filament; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein binding; structural molecule activity. Biological Process: tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway; intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; negative regulation of apoptosis; Golgi to plasma membrane CFTR protein transport
