Anti-Keratin 16 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal reagent targets the C-terminal region of Keratin 16 and is intended for researchers studying epithelial differentiation, keratinization disorders, and wound-healing models. The antibody is raised against a synthesized peptide derived from human Keratin 16 and recognizes endogenous levels of total Keratin 16 protein in human, mouse, and rat samples. It is supplied at a 50 µL fill volume as an unconjugated rabbit IgG preparation at 1.0 mg/mL, formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (without Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺) at pH 7.4 with 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide, and 50% glycerol, and it has been affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by epitope-specific affinity chromatography. Validated applications include Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, making it suitable for detecting Keratin 16 in cell lysates as well as in fixed tissue sections such as those from HepG2 cells and skin epithelium. The reagent is shipped at 4 °C and should be aliquoted and stored at –20 °C upon arrival, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. Intended for research use only, the product is available through the supplier AFMS at 1,365.00 SAR per 50 µL unit and is dispatched from St. Louis, MO with a typical lead time of 6–9 business days.
