Anti-Cytokeratin 5/6 Antibody

Immunohistochemical analysis of Cytokeratin 5/6 staining in human lung squamous carcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Protein Information
Name	KRT5 (HGNC:6442)
Function	Structural component of intermediate filaments in basal keratinocytes of stratified epithelia. Together with its obligate type I partner KRT14, contributes to the formation of the keratin intermediate filament network that provides mechanical stability and resilience to the basal layer of the epidermis (PubMed:1372711, PubMed:1694855). Regulates the recruitment of Langerhans cells to the epidermis, potentially by modulation of the abundance of macrophage chemotactic cytokines, macrophage inflammatory cytokines and CTNND1 localization in keratinocytes (By similarity).
Cellular Location	Cytoplasm.
Tissue Location	Expressed in corneal epithelium (at protein level) (PubMed:26758872). Expressed in keratinocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:20128788, PubMed:31302245).
