Anti-KRT27 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein keratin 27. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 459 amino acid residues and a mass of 49.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is reported to be highly expressed in skin and scalp. A member of the Intermediate filament protein family, KRT27 is known to be important for the proper assembly of type I and type II keratin protein complexes and formation of keratin intermediate filaments in the inner root sheath (irs). Synonyms for this target antigen include CK-27, K25C, K27, cytokeratin-27, keratin 27, type I, keratin-25C, and keratin, type I cytoskeletal 27. KRT27 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Indicated applications for KRT27 antibodies listed below include Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
