The following Keratin 5 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of keratin 5 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the KRT5 gene. This protein is known to be required for the formation of keratin intermediate filaments in the basal epidermis and maintenance of the skin barrier in response to mechanical stress (By similarity). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 590 residues, a mass of 62.4 kDa, and is a member of the Intermediate filament protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in corneal epithelium. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Epidermolysis bullosa simplex. This protein may also be known as DDD, DDD1, EBS1, EBS2, EBS2A, EBS2B, EBS2C, and CK5.
The detection range for different Keratin 5 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL.
