Keratin 14 serves as a fundamental structural protein in the cytoskeleton of basal epithelial cells, where it partners with keratin 5 to form intermediate filaments essential for maintaining tissue integrity. This type I cytokeratin has garnered significant research attention due to its association with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, a group of inherited skin fragility disorders including the Dowling-Meara and Koebner variants. Beyond its clinical relevance, KRT14 functions as a reliable marker for identifying basal and myoepithelial cell populations, making it invaluable for epithelial differentiation studies and tissue characterization.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human KRT14, offers the reproducibility that demanding research protocols require. As a sequence-defined recombinant clone, it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma production, ensuring your experimental conditions remain consistent across extended studies and collaborative projects.
Validation testing demonstrates robust performance across multiple platforms. Immunohistochemistry studies in paraffin-embedded human tonsil tissue reveal clear basal epithelial staining patterns at 1:100 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, while human cervical cancer sections show expected expression in epithelial compartments under identical conditions. Flow cytometry analysis using HeLa cells confirms intracellular detection capability, with distinct positive population shifts compared to isotype controls when cells are fixed and permeabilized.
The antibody's compatibility with both tissue-based and cell-based applications provides flexibility for researchers investigating epithelial biology, cancer pathology, or signal transduction pathways. Whether characterizing tumor differentiation status or exploring keratin network dynamics, this antibody delivers the specificity and consistency your experiments demand.
