Keratin 19 (KRT19) Antibody, Abbexa, abx015910

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family.The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins.The type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains.Unlike its related family members, this smallest known acidic cytokeratin is not paired with a basic cytokeratin in epithelial cells.It is specifically expressed in the periderm, the transiently superficial layer that envelopes the developing epidermis.The type I cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21.
