Cytokeratin 18 Antibody (LDK18) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Cytokeratin 18 in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. Cytokeratin 18 is a vital component of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells, contributing significantly to structural integrity and resilience. Cytokeratin 18 is predominantly located in the cytoplasm, forming a network of intermediate filaments that provide mechanical support and shape to cells. Proper localization of Cytokeratin 18 is crucial for maintaining epithelial tissue architecture, and disruption can lead to various pathological conditions, including cancer. Cytokeratin 18 serves as a biomarker for epithelial-derived tumors, as expression levels can indicate differentiation status of malignancies. Cytokeratin 18 undergoes post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation, which influences protein interactions and overall cellular function. Phosphorylation of specific serine residues, such as Ser 33 and Ser 52, is particularly important for Cytokeratin 18 stability and interaction with 14-3-3 proteins, which regulate cell signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics. Anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody (LDK18) enables researchers to gain valuable insights into Cytokeratin 18′s role in both normal physiology and disease states.

Can Cytokeratin 18 (LDK18): sc-53256 monoclonal antibody be used to stain formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections?

Asked by: DefinitelyNotMatt
Thank you for your question. Yes, Cytokeratin 18 (LDK18): sc-53256 has been validated for use in IHC with paraffin-embedded sections. We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining
