KRT2 Antibodies

AND KRT2 ELISA kits, KRT2 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect KRT2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with KRT2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop KRT2 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to KRT2 by testing them on tissues known to express KRT2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the KRT2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 2 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

KRT2 Overview

Facts about Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 2 epidermal.

KRT2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 2 epidermal (KRT2)

Probably contributes to terminal cornification (PubMed:1380918). Connected with keratinocyte activation, proliferation and keratinization (PubMed:12598329).

Plays a role in the creation of the epidermal barrier on plantar skin (By similarity). .

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the upper spinous and granular suprabasal layers of normal adult epidermal tissues from most body sites including thigh, breast nipple, foot sole, penile shaft and axilla. Not present in foreskin, squamous metaplasias and carcinomas. Expression in hypertrophic and keloid scars begins in the deepest suprabasal layer. Weakly expressed in normal gingiva and tongue, however expression is induced in benign keratoses of lingual mucosa and in mild-to-moderate oral dysplasia with orthokeratinization.
