ab51054 staining Cytokeratin 14 in human skin tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).

Tissue was fixed in paraformaldehyde and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step was performed using citrate buffer, pH 6.0. Samples were then permeabilized using 0.1% saponin/PBS, blocked with 4% BSA for 30 minutes at 25°C and then incubated with ab51054 at a 1/200 dilution for 16 hours at 4°C. The secondary used was a Texas Red conjugated goat anti-rabbit polyclonal used at a 1/100 dilution.

Supplementary information

Cytokeratin 14 also known as CK14 keratin 14 or KRT14 is a type I keratin protein with a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa. It forms intermediate filaments in epithelial cells primarily in the basal layer of stratified epithelium and is part of the cytoskeleton. Cytokeratin 14 expression appears in tissues such as the epidermis tongue and esophagus where it contributes to the structural integrity and mechanical stability of cells. Laboratories often utilize antibodies like anti-K14 and labels such as Alexa Fluor 555 or Alexa Fluor 647 to identify cytokeratin 14 in research settings.
Biological function summary

This protein significantly contributes to the maintenance and regeneration of epithelial tissues by forming a network of filaments with keratin 5. KRT14 pairs with keratin 5 to create a keratin intermediate filament complex which plays a structural role in the resilience and elasticity of epithelial tissues. This partnership is essential for the assembly of the cytoskeleton and supports the protective barrier function of the skin and related tissues.

Pathways

Cytokeratin 14 engages in pivotal cellular processes like keratinization and wound healing. The protein is actively involved in signal transduction pathways such as the epithelial cell differentiation pathway. Within these pathways KRT14 collaborates with KRT5 and other structural proteins to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation reflecting its importance in skin health and function.

Cytokeratin 14 associates with specific genetic conditions including epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In EBS mutations in the KRT14 gene lead to skin fragility. In SCC altered expression of KRT14 and related proteins such as keratin 5 can influence tumor progression and invasion. These associations highlight the critical role of KRT14 in both normal and pathological epithelial function.
