Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-Cytokeratin 14 antibody [SP53] - BSA and Azide free (AB236439)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human breast labelling Cytokeratin 18 with ab93741 at 1/200 dilution (1.02 µg/mL) (B), Collagen VI with ab271938 at 1/500 dilution (2.084 μg/ml) (C) and Cytokeratin 14 with ab236439 at 1/2000 dilution ( 0.519 μg/ml) (D). Opal Polymer HRP Ms + Rb was used as a secondary antibody, and DAPI was used for a nuclear counter stain. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Citrate buffer (pH 6.0, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. Panel A : merged staining of anti-Cytokeratin 14 (magenta; Opal™690), anti-Cytokeratin 18 (green; Opal™520) and anti-Collagen VI (red; Opal™570) on human breast. Panel B : anti-Cytokeratin 18 stained on luminal epithelial cells. Panel C : anti-Collagen VI stained on stroma. Panel D : anti-Cytokeratin 14 stained on myoepithelial cells. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab236439 for 30 mins, ab93741 for 10 mins, and ab271938 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

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.
