Product Information

• Name: Cytokeratin 8 protein
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cytokeratin 8 protein is a vital component of the cytoskeleton and is involved in maintaining the structural integrity of cells. It contains an amino group and histidine residues that contribute to its function. This protein has been found to be associated with multidrug resistance, as it plays a role in the transport of drugs across cell membranes. In addition to its structural role, cytokeratin 8 protein also has other functions. It interacts with fibrinogen, a blood clotting factor, and growth factors such as epidermal growth factor. These interactions are important for various cellular processes, including wound healing and tissue regeneration. Cytokeratin 8 protein can undergo post-translational modifications, such as carbonylation, which may affect its function. Research in Life Sciences has shown that monoclonal antibodies targeting this protein can be used for diagnostic purposes or as therapeutic agents. Autoantibodies against cytokeratin 8 protein have been associated with certain autoimmune diseases, such as
