Product Name :
Cytokeratin 4 polyclonal antibody Background :
Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filament keratins that are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, which is represented in human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. Cytokeratins range in isoelectric range between 4.9 and 7.8. Cytokeratin 1 has the highest molecular weight, while Cytokeratin 19 has the lowest molecular weight. The cytokeratins are divided into the type I and type II subgroups. Type II family members comprise the basic to neutral members, Cytokeratins 1-8, while the type I group comprises the acidic members, Cytokeratins 9-20. Various epithelia in the human body usually express cytokeratins which are characteristic of the type of epithelium and related to the degree of maturation or differentiation within said epithelium. Cytokeratin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. Cytokeratin 4 is expressed in differentiated layers of the mucosal and esophageal epithelia along with Cytokeratin 13. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
