Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 by IHC in Human Basal Cell Carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry of FFPE human basal cell carcinoma tissue using Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368. Strong brown cytoplasmic staining is observed throughout extensive epithelial tumor regions, with particularly prominent staining in densely packed tumor cell populations. The CK6 Monoclonal Antibody highlights the epithelial architecture, while adjacent connective tissue exhibits comparatively weaker staining. Nuclei are counterstained blue with hematoxylin. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed by boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6, for 10-20 minutes, followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 by IHC in Human Basal Cell Carcinoma, Second View. Immunohistochemistry of FFPE human basal cell carcinoma tissue using Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368. Strong, relatively uniform brown cytoplasmic staining is observed across a broad sheet of tumor cells, with clearly visible nuclei and comparatively little staining in the adjacent connective tissue. The CK6 Monoclonal Antibody demonstrates extensive epithelial immunoreactivity, highlighting the distribution of cytokeratin-positive cells within the tumor. Nuclei are counterstained blue with hematoxylin. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed using 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6, for 10-20 minutes.
Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 by IHC in Human Prostate Carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry of FFPE human prostate carcinoma tissue using Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368. Patchy brown staining is observed in epithelial cells associated with glandular structures, with variable intensity across the tissue section. Many epithelial cells exhibit relatively weak staining, while more prominent immunoreactivity is concentrated in selected glandular regions. The CK6 Monoclonal Antibody demonstrates heterogeneous cytokeratin immunoreactivity in this specimen. Nuclei are counterstained blue with hematoxylin. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed using 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6, for 10-20 minutes.
Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 by Protein Microarray. Protein microarray analysis of Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 using a HuProt human protein microarray containing more than 19,000 full-length proteins. KRT6A produces the strongest binding signal, with a Z-score of 67.86 and S-score of 31.52. Secondary signals are detected for RCOR2 (Z-score 36.34; S-score 6.23) and KRT5 (Z-score 30.11; S-score 7.77). The CK6 Monoclonal Antibody demonstrates preferential recognition of KRT6A under the assay conditions, although the additional signals indicate potential secondary interactions that warrant consideration when evaluating target specificity.
Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 by SDS-PAGE. SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 under non-reducing (NR) and reducing (R) conditions, with 2 ug of antibody loaded per lane. A prominent band is observed at approximately 150 kDa under non-reducing conditions, consistent with intact mouse IgG. The reducing lane shows substantially weaker staining, without clearly resolved heavy and light chain bands at the expected molecular weights of approximately 50 kDa and 25 kDa. The CK6 Monoclonal Antibody demonstrates a prominent intact immunoglobulin band under non-reducing conditions.
Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 by FACS in Human HeLa Cells. Flow cytometry analysis of PFA-fixed human HeLa cells using Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368. The blue histogram representing antibody staining shows a pronounced rightward fluorescence shift relative to the red isotype control histogram. The two populations exhibit clear separation, with the antibody-treated cells displaying substantially higher fluorescence intensity. The CK6 Monoclonal Antibody demonstrates intracellular antigen recognition in fixed HeLa cells, supporting its use for investigating cytokeratin expression by flow cytometry.

Description

Cytokeratin 6 Antibody KRT6A/2368 recognizes keratin 6A (KRT6A), a type II intermediate filament protein involved in epithelial differentiation, tissue integrity, and responses to injury. Also known as cytokeratin 6A or CK6, this approximately 60 kDa protein is encoded by the KRT6A gene on chromosome 12. KRT6A is expressed in selected stratified epithelia, including hair follicles, nail beds, and specialized regions of the oral mucosa. Its expression can increase substantially in activated keratinocytes during wound healing, inflammation, and epithelial hyperproliferation, making it a useful marker of changes in epithelial differentiation.

KRT6A forms heterodimers with type I keratins, particularly keratins 16 and 17, to assemble intermediate filament networks that support cellular architecture. Unlike the KRT5/KRT14 pair associated with basal keratinocytes or the KRT1/KRT10 pair characteristic of differentiated epidermis, KRT6A is frequently associated with activated epithelial states. Its expression is induced in keratinocytes responding to mechanical injury, inflammatory signaling, and tissue remodeling. These changes help distinguish normal epithelial differentiation from the adaptive responses that occur during repair and disease.

Cytokeratin 6 is widely investigated in squamous cell carcinoma and other epithelial malignancies. KRT6A expression is frequently associated with squamous differentiation and can be evaluated alongside markers such as KRT5, KRT14, and p63. Increased KRT6A expression has also been reported in hyperproliferative skin disorders, including psoriasis, where altered keratin expression accompanies abnormal epidermal differentiation. Pathogenic variants in KRT6A are associated with pachyonychia congenita, an inherited disorder characterized by nail abnormalities, painful palmoplantar keratoderma, and other epithelial manifestations.

NSJ Bioreagents offers mouse monoclonal clone KRT6A/2368, developed against a recombinant human KRT6A fragment. The antibody is supported by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and protein microarray analysis. HuProt screening identifies KRT6A as the strongest binding target, although additional signals indicate potential secondary interactions under the assay conditions. This distinction is important when interpreting antibody specificity across different experimental applications. A Cytokeratin 6 Antibody provides a useful reagent for investigating keratinocyte activation, epithelial differentiation, wound healing, and squamous epithelial tumor biology.
