Activity summary

Cytokeratin 13 also known as KRT13 or CK13 is a type I intermediate filament protein weighing approximately 44 kDa. It is one of the cytokeratin types that plays a critical role in the mechanical stability and integrity of epithelial cells. Cytokeratin 13 is expressed in the stratified squamous epithelium particularly in the upper layers of non-cornified epithelia which include the esophagus tongue and cervix. This protein forms heteropolymers with type II keratins contributing to the cytoskeletal filament network within epithelial cells.

Biological function summary

This protein participates in maintaining the structural framework and dynamics within epithelial tissues. As part of the cytoskeletal complex cytokeratin 13 supports cellular resilience against mechanical stress. It interacts with other cytokeratins contributing to the formation of a robust keratin filament network essential for epithelial cell function and differentiation. Its expression and regulation are key to the homeostasis of the tissues where it is found ensuring proper cell division and tissue integrity.

Pathways

Cytokeratin 13 integrates into epithelial cell differentiation and repair processes. It is involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway important for tissue development wound healing and cancer metastasis. During the EMT process cytokeratin 13 often works alongside proteins like E-cadherin and Vimentin mediating changes in epithelial cell architecture and polarity. This modulation is essential for cellular plasticity and response to environmental cues.

Associated diseases and disorders

Cytokeratin 13 has associations with certain epithelial tissue abnormalities such as oral squamous cell carcinoma and a subgroup of inherited blistering diseases like epidermolysis bullosa. In oral squamous cell carcinoma dysregulation of cytokeratin 13 expression may indicate tumor progression and metastasis. In epidermolysis bullosa mutations affecting keratin interactions including those with other keratins like cytokeratin 14 can lead to fragile skin and mucosal surfaces resulting in increased susceptibility to physical damage and impaired healing.

    Western blot - Anti-Cytokeratin 13 antibody [AE8] (ab16112)

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-Cytokeratin 13 antibody [AE8] staining at 1 μg/ml, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab16112 was shown to bind specifically to Cytokeratin 13. A band was observed at 51 kDa in wild-type A431 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Krt13 knockout cell line Human KRT13 knockout A-431 cell line ab269483 (knockout cell lysate Human KRT13 knockout A-431 cell lysate ab269647). To generate this image, wild-type and Krt13 knockout A431 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216777) at 1/20000 dilution.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Cytokeratin 13 antibody [AE8] (ab16112)

    IHC image of Cytokeratin 13 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human tonsil* performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F.

    The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab16112, 0.05 μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
