KRT18 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: HH156]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	HH156
Applications	ELISA
Reactivity	Human
Modifications	This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format for improved compatibility with existing reagents assays and techniques.
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	The original antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with human cytokeratin 18 extracellular domain polypeptide 'LEDGEDFNLGDALD'. Later on the humanized version of this antibody was generated by grafting the CDRs of the original mouse antibody E156 onto human framework regions.
Specificity	This antibody is specific for extracellular domain of the human cytokeratin 18 containing amino acids 'LEDGEDFNLGDALD'. Cytokeratins are intermediate filaments found in the intracytoplasmic cytoskeleton of epithelial tissue. Cytokeratin 18 is widely expressed in human monolayer epithelial tissues, and generally appears in pairs with CK8. CK18 is a serum marker for a variety of tumor diagnosis, as well as a serum marker for liver injury. It is involved in the uptake of thrombin-antithrombin complexes by hepatic cells. When phosphorylated, it plays a role in filament reorganization. It is also involved in the delivery of mutated CFTR to the plasma membrane. Together with KRT8, is involved in interleukin-6 (IL-6)-mediated barrier protection. This antibody can bind human cytokeratin 18 in an ELISA. The original IgG1 version of this antibody is reported to bind human cytokeratin 18 with a binding affinity of 32.8 pM.
Formulation	PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
