Rabbit anti-Human Cytokeratin 1 (KRT1) Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P04264

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KRT1

Target Full Name

Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 1

Target Function

May regulate the activity of kinases such as PKC and SRC via binding to integrin beta-1 (ITB1) and the receptor of activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1). In complex with C1QBP is a high affinity receptor for kininogen-1/HMWK.

Target Involvement

Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK); Ichthyosis hystrix, Curth-Macklin type (IHCM); Keratoderma, palmoplantar, non-epidermolytic (NEPPK); Ichthyosis annular epidermolytic (AEI); Keratoderma, palmoplantar, striate 3 (SPPK3)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane. Note=Located on plasma membrane of neuroblastoma NMB7 cells.

Target Protein Families

Intermediate filament family

Target Tissue Specificity

The source of this protein is neonatal foreskin. The 67-kDa type II keratins are expressed in terminally differentiating epidermis.

Target Research Area

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the spinous and granular layers of the epidermis with family member KRT10 and mutations in these genes have been associated with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.
