Anti-Cytokeratin 17 Antibody [C58]

Supplied by Antibodies.com as a 100 µg liquid vial, this mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody (clone C58) specifically recognizes Cytokeratin 17 (KRT17), a roughly 48 kDa type I intermediate filament protein expressed in basal epithelial cells, myoepithelial cells, and hair follicle stem cells. The reagent is validated for western blot, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded sections, with reactivity confirmed against human, mouse, and rat samples. Typical applications include basal and squamous cell carcinoma profiling, psoriasis and epithelial inflammation models, wound-healing studies, and investigations of bulge-region stem cells in skin biology. For routine use, store refrigerated at 4 °C; for longer storage, aliquot and freeze at -20 °C and limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity. Provided as an unconjugated preparation for research use only, allowing flexible pairing with secondary antibodies of the researcher's choice.
