Human Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 17 (KRT17) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie offers a Sandwich ELISA kit for the quantitative measurement of human Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 17 (KRT17). The assay is intended for use with serum and plasma samples and employs a colorimetric detection method to deliver precise and consistent results across a range of research applications.

KRT17 is a type I cytoskeletal keratin involved in maintaining the structural integrity of epithelial cells and tissues. The kit is specific to the natural and recombinant human protein, also known by the synonyms Cytokeratin-17, Keratin-17, CK-17 and K17. Reported performance includes a detection range of 0.156-10 ng/mL, a sensitivity of 0.078 ng/mL, an intra-assay CV of 3.9% and an inter-assay CV of 6.8%.

Dysregulation of KRT17 has been linked to skin disorders such as psoriasis and alopecia, as well as certain types of cancer, making accurate quantification of this protein valuable for studies of epithelial biology, tissue repair and disease pathophysiology. The kit is supplied for research use only.
