- Extra Details:
- Keratin 5 is a type II keratin that pairs with keratin 14, while keratin 6 is a type II keratin upregulated in hyperproliferative states such as wound healing and psoriasis. Together, keratins 5 and 6 form filament networks that maintain cytoskeletal integrity and provide mechanical support against stress. Aberrant expression patterns of these keratins are associated with disease progression in cancer and dermatological conditions. 058630X provides specific and reproducible detection of these basal keratins. Research using 058630X has shown how cytokeratin 5/6 expression helps define squamous differentiation in lung carcinomas and basal-like breast cancers. In dermatology, detection of keratin 6 highlights regenerative activity in skin injury and chronic inflammatory disease. This antibody provides a foundation for both diagnostic pathology and mechanistic studies of epithelial biology. 058630X is a useful aid for classification of epithelioid mesotheliomas.
