Anti-KRT14 Antibody

This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com specifically detects endogenous Keratin 14 in Human, Mouse, and Rat samples, supplied as 100 µl of antibody solution validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows. KRT14 is a type I cytokeratin expressed in the basal layer of stratified epithelia, where it pairs with KRT5 to form the cytoskeletal network of proliferating keratinocytes. Researchers commonly deploy this basal-cell marker in skin, oral mucosa, and breast tissue studies, including investigations of epidermolysis bullosa simplex and squamous-cell carcinoma differentiation. The reagent performs reliably on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections and standard immunoblotting membranes, with the unconjugated format allowing flexible pairing with HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary reagents. Aliquot upon arrival and store refrigerated in working volumes to limit freeze-thaw cycles; protect from light and avoid prolonged exposure to ambient temperatures to preserve reactivity across repeated staining and blotting runs.
