KRT9 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein keratin 9, which is encoded by the KRT9 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to serve an important special function either in the mature palmar and plantar skin tissue or in the morphogenetic program of the formation of these tissues. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 623 residues, a mass of 62.1 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. It is reported to be expressed in the terminally differentiated epidermis of palms and soles. The KRT9 gene has been associated with the disease, Keratoderma. Other alias names for this target include EPPK, K9, keratin, type I cytoskeletal 9, cytokeratin 9, keratin 9, type I, type I cytoskeletal 9, and CK-9.
The detection range for different KRT9 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
