Keratin 16 is a type I intermediate filament protein that plays a critical role in epithelial cell structure and stress response. Expressed primarily in stratified epithelia, KRT16 serves as a valuable marker for studying keratinocyte differentiation, wound healing, and inflammatory skin conditions. Its upregulation in hyperproliferative states makes it particularly relevant for researchers investigating psoriasis, wound repair mechanisms, and epithelial cancers.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human KRT16, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly, you can expect reliable performance across experiments and over time, eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.
Validation testing demonstrates robust performance across multiple applications, giving you flexibility in your experimental design. Western blot analysis of MCF-7 whole cell lysate reveals a clean band at the predicted molecular weight of 51 kDa, confirming specific target recognition. For cellular localization studies, immunofluorescence staining has been validated in HepG2 cells, while flow cytometry analysis in HeLa cells shows clear positive signal separation from isotype controls, enabling quantitative assessment of KRT16 expression at the single-cell level.
Whether you are characterizing epithelial differentiation programs, investigating keratin expression patterns in cancer cell lines, or exploring the molecular basis of skin disorders, this antibody provides a dependable tool for your research. The validated performance across Western blot, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry applications supports diverse experimental approaches within a single, well-characterized reagent.
