The following Keratin 13 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of keratin 13 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the KRT13 gene. This protein has been described to function in cytoskeleton organization and epithelial cell differentiation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 458 residues, a mass of 49.6 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. It is reported to be expressed in some epidermal sweat gland ducts and in exocervix, esophagus and placenta. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, White sponge nevus. This protein may also be known as CK13 and K13.
The detection range for different keratin 13 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL.
