The Cytokeratin 20 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of Cytokeratin 20 in various samples. Cytokeratin 20 is an alternative name for the human KRT20 gene, which encodes the protein, keratin 20. It has been mentioned that Cytokeratin 20 plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and epithelial cell differentiation, among other functions. Structurally, the KRT20 protein is described to be 424 amino acid residues in length and 48.5 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in the intestinal epithelium. This protein is known to be cleaved and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include CD20, CK-20, and CK20.
There are Cytokeratin 20 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
