Description: Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 19 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT19 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family. It is specifically expressed in the periderm, the transiently superficial layer that envelops the developing epidermis. The type I cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. Due to its high sensitivity, KRT19 is the most used marker for the RT-PCR-mediated detection of tumor cells disseminated in lymph nodes, peripheral blood, and bone marrow of breast cancer patients. Keratin 19 is often used together with keratin 8 and keratin 18 to differentiate cells of epithelial origin from hematopoietic cells in tests that enumerate circulating tumor cells in blood.

Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Cytokeratin 19 (YRSLLEGQEDHYNN) was used as the immunogen for this Cytokeratin 19 antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the Cytokeratin 19 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
