PRECAUTIONS
1. We strongly recommend to use Primary Antibody Diluent (Please Inquire), eventually alternative diluent (containing protease free BSA at the concentrations > 1mg/ml) for dilution of concentrated antibodies, otherwise the warranty might be voided.
2. Centrifuge the vial before use.
3. Intended for use in laboratories.
4. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label.
5. Avoid contamination of the reagent.
6. Any discrepancies in the recommended procedures stated in the working protocol may affect the final results.
7. The reagent contains sodium azide (NaN3) which is highly toxic in higher concentrations. The concentration in the reagent (0.05%) is not considered as hazardous.
8. Disposal of waste material must be conducted in accordance with local regulations.
9. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to avoid contact with eyes and skin.

3. Rinse in distilled water.
4. Block the endogenous peroxidase by incubating the tissue in 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 10 minutes.
5. Wash in distilled water.
6. For antigen retrieval: immerse the slide in Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0, 0.05% Tween-20* and incubate at 95ºC in water bath for 60 minutes.
7. Remove the staining to room temperature and let the slide to cool (in Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0) for 15 minutes.
8. Rinse in distilled water.
9. Wash in 0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.6 buffer supplemented with 0.2% of Tween-20 (buffer A) for 5 minutes.
10. CONCENTRATED:
Incubate the section with primary antibody at the dilution 1:100 - 1:200 for 1 hour in the closed wet chamber.
READY TO USE (RTU):
Incubate the section with primary antibody (ready to use) for 1 hour in a closed wet chamber.
11. Wash twice 5 minutes with buffer A.
12. Apply the secondary antibody (the protocol depends on the supplier), and proceed to standard immunohistochemistry protocol (HRP - Peroxide - DAB). Micropolymer-HRP detection kit rabbit/mouse dual is suggested (Please Inquire).
13. Wash twice 5 minutes with buffer A.
14. Apply the chromogen (DAB), 1 - 3 minutes.
15. Wash in water – 10 minutes.
16. Stain in hematoxylin for 5 minutes.
17. Wash in water – 10 minutes.
18. Dehydrate the section in 2 changes of 96% ethyl alcohol for 5 minutes each.
19. Wash the section in 2 changes of xylene for 2 minutes each.
20. Mount the slide for observation.

* Tris-EDTA Buffer (10mM Tris Base, 1mM EDTA solution, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 9.0):
Tris ------------- 1.21 g; EDTA ------------ 0.37 g; Distilled water -------------------------- 1000 ml
Mix to dissolve in 700 ml of distilled water. Adjust pH to 9.0 with 1M HCl and then add 0.5 ml of Tween-20 and mix well. Adjust the final volume to 1 liter with distilled water. Store this solution at room temperature for 3 months or at +4ºC for longer storage.

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-KRT20 antibody 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.

NCBI Summary for KRT20

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. The type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains. This cytokeratin is a major cellular protein of mature enterocytes and goblet cells and is specifically expressed in the gastric and intestinal mucosa. The type I cytokeratin genes are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

UniProt Comments for KRT20

Function: Plays a significant role in maintaining keratin filament organization in intestinal epithelia. When phosphorylated, plays a role in the secretion of mucin in the small intestine

By similarity. Ref.4 Ref.8

Subunit structure: Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins. Associates with KRT8.

Subcellular location: Cytoplasm Ref.6 Ref.7.

Tissue specificity: Expressed predominantly in the intestinal epithelium. Expressed in luminal cells of colonic mucosa. Also expressed in the Merkel cells of keratinized oral mucosa; specifically at the tips of some rete ridges of the gingival mucosa, in the basal layer of the palatal mucosa and in the taste buds of lingual mucosa. Ref.6 Ref.7

Developmental stage: First detected at embryonic week 8 in individual 'converted' simple epithelial cells of the developing intestinal mucosa. In later fetal stages, synthesis extends over most goblet cells and a variable number of villus enterocytes. In the developing gastric and intestinal mucosa, expressed in all enterocytes and goblet cells as well as certain 'low-differentiated' columnar cells, whereas the neuroendocrine and Paneth cells are negative. Ref.1

Post-translational modification: Hyperphosphorylation at Ser-13 occurs during the early stages of apoptosis but becomes less prominent during the later stages. Phosphorylation at Ser-13 also increases in response to stress brought on by cell injury

By similarity.Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis. Cleavage occurs at Asp-228. Ref.4

Miscellaneous: There are two types of cytoskeletal and microfibrillar keratin: I (acidic; 40-55 kDa) and II (neutral to basic; 56-70 kDa).

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
