CK10 antibody recognizes Cytokeratin 10, also known as Keratin 10 and KRT10, a type I acidic keratin encoded by the KRT10 gene. Cytokeratin 10 is a cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein predominantly expressed in suprabasal keratinocytes of stratified squamous epithelium, where it contributes to terminal differentiation and epidermal barrier formation. CK10 Antibody Rabbit Monoclonal is developed to detect endogenous Cytokeratin 10 expression in research applications focused on epithelial differentiation and skin biology.
Cytokeratin 10 is a member of the keratin family of intermediate filament proteins that form obligate heterodimers with type II keratins, most commonly Keratin 1. These heterodimers assemble into filamentous networks that provide structural integrity and mechanical resilience to epithelial cells. CK10 expression marks the transition from basal proliferative keratinocytes to suprabasal differentiated layers within the epidermis, making it a well-established marker of keratinocyte maturation and epidermal stratification.
Keratin 10 plays a central role in maintaining skin barrier function. Proper assembly of KRT10-containing filaments supports cell shape, resistance to mechanical stress, and coordination of differentiation-associated gene expression. Alterations in Cytokeratin 10 expression have been associated with hyperproliferative skin disorders and abnormalities of epidermal differentiation. Mutations in the KRT10 gene have been linked to inherited keratinization disorders characterized by impaired epidermal integrity and abnormal cornification.
The KRT10 gene is located on chromosome 17q21.2 within the type I keratin gene cluster. Cytokeratin 10 is primarily localized to the cytoplasm of suprabasal keratinocytes and is largely absent from basal layer cells in normal epidermis. In histologic specimens, CK10 staining typically highlights the spinous and granular layers of stratified squamous epithelium, supporting its use as a differentiation marker in studies of normal skin and epithelial tumors.
Clone KRT10/1948R is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes Cytokeratin 10 with high specificity. By targeting CK10, this antibody supports studies of epithelial differentiation, skin development, keratinocyte biology, and stratified epithelial pathology.
Optimal dilution of the CK10 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
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.
A cytoskeletal preparation extracted from human ectocervical epithelium was used as the immunogen for the CK10 antibody.
Store the CK10 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
