Recombinant Human keratin 8, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: KRT8-561H
• Product Overview: KRT8, 1-483aa, Human His tag, E.coli

Specification

• Description: KRT8 is a member of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. Type I and type II keratins heteropolymerize to form intermediate-sized filaments in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. KRT8 typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. This protein plays a role in maintaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause cryptogenic cirrhosis. Recombinant human KRT8 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
