Human Keratin 5 (KRT5) ELISA Kit

Keratin 5 (KRT5) is a type II intermediate filament protein of approximately 58 kDa that forms heterodimers with Keratin 14 to build the cytoskeleton of basal keratinocytes in stratified epithelia. The Assay Genie Human Keratin 5 (KRT5) ELISA Kit is a quantitative immunoassay intended for in vitro research, measuring KRT5 protein levels across human sample types. KRT5 is a widely cited marker for basal epithelial cells and supports investigations in epidermal differentiation, wound healing, basal-like carcinoma biology, and epidermolysis bullosa simplex, an inherited skin fragility disorder caused by mutations in the KRT5 gene.

This 96-assay kit is configured for human reactivity and accommodates multiple human-derived sample matrices including tissue homogenate preparations, cell lysates, cell culture supernatant samples, and standard blood-derived preparations. The assay produces an absorbance-based signal readable on standard laboratory microplate readers, fitting biomarker quantification workflows in dermatology, oncology, and epithelial biology research.

Each kit is supplied as a complete refrigerated pack with reagents and microplate components sufficient for 96 individual determinations. The assay is intended for in vitro research applications and should be handled using standard cold-chain laboratory practices.
