Human Keratin 17 (KRT17) ELISA Kit

Cytoskeletal integrity in basal epithelial cells depends on type I intermediate filament proteins, including keratin 17 (KRT17), which is highly expressed in hair follicles, wound-edge keratinocytes, and stratified squamous epithelia. This in vitro quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie is supplied as a complete kit for measuring human KRT17 protein in research samples, supporting studies of epithelial differentiation, skin barrier function, and tumor biology.

KRT17 levels are frequently elevated in squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell carcinoma, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and altered expression has been reported in psoriasis lesions and in tissues from pachyonychia congenita type 2 patients carrying KRT17 mutations, establishing it as a useful biomarker across dermatology and oncology research workflows. The kit includes all reagents required for the assay procedure, such as pre-coated plates, detection antibodies, calibrators, and buffer solutions, and is intended for research use only in laboratory settings. Scientists investigating keratin intermediate filament regulation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, or inflammation-driven skin remodeling can apply this kit to profile KRT17 levels in cell culture models and tissue-derived specimens.
