epitope corresponding to amino acids 161-290 mapping within an internal region of Cytokeratin 23 of human origin
Modification Notes
Cytokeratins comprise a diverse group of intermediate filament proteins that are expressed in both keratinized and non-keratinized epithelial tissue. The Cytokeratin proteins play a critical role in differentiation, as well as tissue specialization and function, and maintenance of the overall structural integrity of epithelial cells. There are two types of Cytokeratins, namely the type I Cytokeratins and the type II Cytokeratins. Cytokeratin 23, also known as KRT23, K23, CK23 or HAIK1, is a 422 amino acid intermediate filament protein that functions as a heterotetramer that is composed of two type I and two type II Cytokeratins. Characteristic of most Cytokeratins, Cytokeratin 23 is thought to participate in maintaining the structural integrity of a variety of cells. Cytokeratin 23 expression is induced in pancreatic cancer cells, suggesting a possible role in carcinogenesis.
