Overview
Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filaments and are characterized by remarkable biochemical diversity. CThey are represented in epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides, molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa. The individual cytokeratin polypeptides are designated 1 to 20 and divided into the type I (acidic cytokeratins 9-20) and type II (basic to neutral cytokeratins 1-8) families.
Specificity:
Mouse monoclonal antibody AE1 recognizes acidic type cytokeratins (intracellular antigens), namely K10, 14, 15, 16, 19 (40-56 kDa) . This antibody stains well the basal layer of epidermis and most epithelia.
