Anti-Cytokeratin 17 Antibody

This polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com specifically recognizes Cytokeratin 17 (KRT17), a type I intermediate filament protein expressed in basal epithelial cells, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and nail bed epithelium. Raised in rabbit and supplied as an unconjugated preparation at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, the antibody is validated for western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence workflows on human, mouse, and rat samples. Investigators studying epithelial differentiation, stem cell biology, wound healing, and tumor pathology use KRT17 as a marker of basal and myoepithelial lineages, with documented relevance to psoriasis, pachyonychia congenita, and several squamous and basal carcinoma subtypes. The 100 µl vial supports multiple staining and blotting experiments, and the polyclonal format delivers broad epitope coverage for reliable detection across fixed tissue sections, cultured cell preparations, and whole-cell lysates.
