Keratins are main structural proteins of epithelial cells and form a cytoplasmic intermediate filament network, which is required for cell integrity and protecting cells from stress or injury. Keratin 6 (KRT6), also known as cytokeratin-6 or CK-6, is a type II intermediate filament protein constitutively expressed in all major types of epithelial appendages, such as hair, nail, and glands. Expression of KRT6 is induced by cell injury, infection, and disease. KRT6 has been identified as a marker of mammary gland progenitor cells. Defects in KRT6 genes have been associated with the inherited disorder pachyonychia congenital (PC), leading to structural abnormalities of nail, palms, and soles.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.1 - 1.0 µg/ml (1:500-1:5000 dilution). For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 0.1 - 1.0 µg/ml (1:500-1:5000 dilution) is recommended. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
For immunohistochemistry, the suggested antigen retrieval buffer is either Tris-EDTA or sodium citrate (Cat. No. 420901).
