The Cytokeratin 8 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of Cytokeratin 8 in various samples. Cytokeratin 8 is an alternative name for the human KRT8 gene, which encodes the protein, keratin 8. It has been mentioned that Cytokeratin 8 plays a role in the apoptotic pathway, among other functions. Structurally, the KRT8 protein is 483 amino acid residues in length and 53.7 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include CARD2, CK-8, and CK8.
The detection range for different Cytokeratin 8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.41 pg/mL and as high as 80 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
