In our WB testing this antibody did not recognize mouse Cytokeratin 19, but customers have reported the antibody recognizes the protein in IHC-P with mouse tissue. Thus, we have removed mouse as a "does not react with" species and welcome further feedback from other researchers using this antibody in mouse.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) also known as cytokera­tine 19 keratin 19 (KRT19) or CK19 is a type of intermediate filament found in epithelial cells. It serves as an essential component of the cytoskeleton. CK19 weighs approximately 40 kDa and is broadly expressed in simple epithelial tissues including liver intestine and various glandular epithelial cells. As a cytokeratin marker it often appears in combination with others like cytokeratin 17 in certain tissue types helping to maintain the structural integrity of cells.

Biological function summary

CK19 plays a role in maintaining the cytoskeletal framework that provides mechanical support and helps control cell size and shape. It is not part of a large protein complex but works closely with other cytokeratins to ensure the stability and resilience of epithelial tissues. The A53-B/A22.26 positive staining is often used to confirm its presence in clinical histopathology.

Pathways

CK19 connects to cellular processes especially involving the keratinization and epithelial cell differentiation pathways. It interacts with other cytokeratins including BA16 and KR17 to facilitate these processes. This interaction aids in modulating the dynamics of cytoskeletal rearrangement during cell movement division and differentiation.

Associated diseases and disorders

CK19 overexpression is linked with certain cancers notably hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer. It can serve as a prognostic marker in these diseases often in conjunction with other markers like CK17. The involvement of CK19 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process connects it to the progression and aggressiveness of tumors facilitated by interactions with proteins involved in EMT pathways.
