Description: Involucrin is expressed in a range of stratified squamous epithelia, including the cornea, which lacks a distinct cornified layer. In normal epidermis, it is first expressed in the upper spinous layers, and in keratinocyte cultures, all cells that have left the basal layer express it. Involucrin expression is altered in pathological conditions: in psoriasis and other benign epidermal hyperplasias, involucrin expression begins closer to the basal layer than normal; expression is abnormal in squamous cell carcinomas and premalignant lesions, and is reduced in severe dysplasias of the larynx and cervix.
Immunogen: Purified involucrin from human keratinocytes was used as the immunogen for this Involucrin antibody. Its epitope maps between amino acids 421-568 of human involucrin.
Storage: Store the Involucrin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
