Anti-Keratin 27 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the KRT27 gene. 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, it 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). Other names for this target antigen include CK-27, K25C, K27, cytokeratin-27, keratin 27, type I, keratin-25C, and keratin, type I cytoskeletal 27. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Indicated applications for Keratin 27 antibodies listed below include Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
