KRT8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein keratin 8, which is encoded by the KRT8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in the apoptotic pathway. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 483 residues, a mass of 53.7 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated and phosphorylated. The KRT8 gene has been associated with the disease, Cirrhosis. Other alias names for this target include CK-8, CK8, CYK8, K2C8, K8, KO, keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8, and CARD2.
The detection range for different KRT8 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 products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
