AlternameCK 18, CK18, CYK18, Cytokeratin endo B, K18, K1C18, KERD, KRT1-18, KRT18, Keratin, Keratin D, Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 18, cytokeratin 18, type I cytoskeletal 18
Form Or Antibody
Form of AntibodyRabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
Storage/StabilityStore at -20℃/1 year
ImmunogenThe antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human Keratin 18 around the phosphorylation site of serine 33 (A-A-SP-V-Y).
PurificationThe antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Specificty Sensitivity
Specificity/SensitivityKeratin 18 (phospho-Ser33) antibody detects endogenous levels of Keratin 18 only when phosphorylated at serine 33.
