Anti-Cytokeratin 17 Antibody

Recombinant rabbit monoclonal reagent targeting Cytokeratin 17 (KRT17), supplied by Antibodies.com as a 50 µL unconjugated antibody in liquid format. The antibody is buffered in TBS (pH 7.4) with 1% BSA, 40% glycerol as cryoprotectant, and 0.05% sodium azide as preservative, and should be stored aliquoted at -20 °C to preserve activity across multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Validated for Western blot, immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry, the reagent cross-reacts with human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting comparative work in skin biology, basal and squamous epithelial research, and oncology. Cytokeratin 17 is a type I keratin expressed in basal-layer keratinocytes, hair follicles, nail beds, and sebaceous glands, and is widely used as a marker for basal cell carcinoma, p63-related squamous differentiation, and psoriasis-affected epidermis.

Researchers also apply KRT17 staining to wound-edge epithelium, limbal epithelial stem cell populations, and tumor-progression models where cytokeratin 17 is overexpressed. Each vial is intended for research use only and provides enough material for routine small-batch experiments.
