Cytokeratin 14 Human Protein

Specifications

Product Data
Species	Human
Expression Host	E. coli
Concentration	lot specific
Purity	>95% determined by SDS gelelectrophoresis
Buffer	Presentation State: Purified State: Lyophilized purified protein
Preparation	Lyophilized purified protein
Applications	Protein standard in 1D and 2D SDS gelelectrophoresis. Immunoassays. Immunization. Protocol: Reconstitution to filaments is performed by mixing equimolar amounts of keratins of type I and type II at concentrations of approx. 0.5 mg/ml, both dissolved in 9.5 M urea buffer (see above). Protofilaments and filament complexes are obtained by dialyzing the resulting polypeptide solution stepwise to a concentration of 4 M urea and then to low salt condition (50 mM NaCl, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4). For immunization purposes, the solution can be further dialyzed against PBS (phosphate buffered saline, e.g. Dulbecco's PBS).
Protein Description	Recombinant human keratin K14 (formerly also designated cytokeratin 14).  Molecular weight:  51,662 (+ methionin). 51,530 (- methionin; calculated from sequence). 50,000 (determined by SDS gelelectrophoresis).
Note	Isoelectric Point: pI 5.3 (4.92 calculated from sequence)
Storage	Store lyophilized at 2-8°C for 6 months or at -20°C long term. After reconstitution store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month  or (in aliquots) at -20°C long term. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Stability	Shelf life: one year from despatch.

Summary	This gene encodes a member of the keratin family, the most diverse group of intermediate filaments. This gene product, a type I keratin, is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex. At least one pseudogene has been identified at 17p12-p11. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
