Keratin 15 Antibody LHK15 / Cytokeratin 15 Monoclonal Antibody recognizes keratin 15, a type I intermediate filament protein encoded by the KRT15 gene. Keratin 15 is expressed in selected basal epithelial populations, particularly within the hair follicle bulge, where it has become an established marker for investigating epithelial stem cell compartments. Its distribution reflects specialized differentiation programs involved in maintaining the epidermis and supporting cyclical hair follicle regeneration.
The hair follicle bulge contains relatively quiescent epithelial stem cells capable of generating progenitor populations during successive hair growth cycles. Keratin 15 expression has been used extensively to characterize this anatomical compartment and distinguish it from more actively differentiating follicular regions. Studies examining KRT15-positive populations have contributed to understanding epithelial lineage relationships, stem cell activation, and the mechanisms coordinating follicular regeneration. However, keratin 15 expression is not exclusive to stem cells, and its interpretation requires consideration of anatomical localization and complementary markers.
Clone LHK15 has particular relevance to the immunohistochemical characterization of human hair follicle structures. Its recognition of a C-terminal region of keratin 15 provides a defined immunogen distinction from antibodies generated against recombinant full-length protein. Keratin 15 Antibody LHK15 is therefore useful for examining the distribution of KRT15 within epithelial compartments, including basal epidermal cells and follicular structures. Expression patterns can provide information about epithelial organization, although antibody staining alone does not establish cellular lineage or regenerative potential.
Keratin 15 expression also changes during epidermal injury and remodeling. Activation of keratinocytes can alter intermediate filament profiles as cells transition between relatively quiescent, proliferative, and differentiating states. Investigations of these changes have helped characterize epithelial responses to tissue damage and the contribution of follicular populations to epidermal repair. The Cytokeratin 15 Monoclonal Antibody is relevant to research examining these spatial and temporal changes in epithelial differentiation.
NSJ Bioreagents provides Keratin 15 Antibody LHK15 for immunohistochemical investigations of human and rat tissues. Its established clone identity and defined C-terminal immunogen make it a useful complementary reagent for examining KRT15 distribution in epithelial tissues, particularly in studies of follicular organization, stem cell niches, and epidermal regeneration.
Explore our Cytokeratin 15 Antibody KRT15/2957 for additional research into KRT15 expression, epithelial differentiation, and hair follicle biology.
Optimal dilution of the Keratin 15 Antibody LHK15 / Cytokeratin 15 Monoclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A 17 amino acid sequence from the C- terminal of human CK15 was used as the immunogen for the Keratin 15 antibody.
Store the Keratin 15 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
