Cytokeratin 17 (KRT17), also known as Keratin 17 or CK17, is a type I intermediate filament protein encoded by the KRT17 gene and expressed in epithelial tissues. Cytokeratin 17 forms part of the cytoskeletal intermediate filament network that provides mechanical stability and structural organization to epithelial cells. Cytokeratin 17 IHC Antibody Clone CTKN17-1 recognizes the KRT17 protein and supports immunohistochemistry-based analysis of epithelial cells in normal and tumor tissues.
Immunohistochemistry is widely used to evaluate cytokeratin expression in tissue sections, where cytokeratin markers help identify epithelial lineage and tissue architecture. Using Cytokeratin 17 IHC Antibody, researchers and pathologists can visualize CK17 expression directly within formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. The staining pattern typically highlights epithelial cells with cytoplasmic immunoreactivity corresponding to the intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Clone CTKN17-1 is designed to provide reliable immunohistochemical detection of Cytokeratin 17 in tissue samples.
Keratin proteins assemble into intermediate filament networks composed of type I and type II keratin heterodimers. These filaments extend throughout the cytoplasm and provide tensile strength that helps epithelial cells withstand mechanical stress. Cytokeratin 17 participates in these filament structures by pairing with complementary keratin proteins to maintain epithelial cell integrity and structural resilience.
KRT17 expression is commonly detected in basal epithelial compartments of stratified epithelia and in epithelial appendages such as hair follicles and glandular structures. Because cytokeratin expression patterns vary among epithelial tissues, keratin profiling has become an important approach in immunohistochemistry for studying epithelial differentiation and identifying epithelial cell populations in tissue sections.
Cytokeratin 17 has also been widely investigated in cancer research. CK17 expression is frequently detected in epithelial tumors, where cytokeratin markers can assist in evaluating tumor differentiation and epithelial lineage. Immunohistochemical detection using Cytokeratin 17 IHC Antibody Clone CTKN17-1 allows visualization of CK17-positive tumor cells within tissue architecture, supporting studies of epithelial tumor biology and diagnostic marker research.
Cytokeratin 17 IHC Antibody Clone CTKN17-1 is a monoclonal antibody developed for immunohistochemistry applications. Detection of Cytokeratin 17 using clone CTKN17-1 supports research involving epithelial tissue analysis, tumor pathology studies, and investigation of keratin expression patterns in formalin-fixed tissue sections.
Titering of the Cytokeratin 17 IHC Antibody Clone CTKN17-1 may be required for optimal performance.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
Recombinant full-length human KRT17 protein was used as the immunogen for the Cytokeratin 17 antibody.
Store the Cytokeratin 17 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
