Cytokeratin 20 (KRT20) Recombinant Protein

Keratins are a class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins important both as structural proteins and as keys to the study of protein conformation. The family represents the principal constituent of epidermis, hair, nails, horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth enamel. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms an alpha-helix, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. The recently identified cytokeratin-20 (CK-20) was found with immunohistochemical methods to be expressed in gastrointestinal epithelium, uroepithelial cells, and Merkel cells. Clues were also found for low expression of CK-20 in endometrial carcinoma cells

Recombinant Human Cytokeratin 20 is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 48,553 Daltons.

Small volumes of KRT20 recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS635642 is a recombinant protein targeting KRT20. Also known as Cytokeratin 20, Recombinant, Human. Host: E Coli.
