Overlay histogram showing A431 cells stained with ab77869 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab77869, 2μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

Supplementary information

Cytokeratin 3 also known as CK-3 or CK3 is a type II cytokeratin protein with a molecular weight of approximately 64 kDa. This protein often coexists with Cytokeratin 12 and together they form the epithelial keratins. CK-3 is expressed predominantly in corneal epithelial cells. The presence of CK-3 in these cells helps maintain structural integrity and resilience against mechanical stress through its network of intermediate filaments. Various forms like CK-3 IgG and IGG CK3 have been studied to understand the unique and important role of cytokeratins in epithelial tissues.
Biological function summary

CK-3 plays an important role in the structural framework inside corneal epithelial cells. It participates in forming a complex of intermediate filaments providing necessary strength and stability to the cells. Such a framework is important for protecting the epithelium under physical stressors while also supporting the dynamic processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. These cytokeratin complexes contribute to the cellular process by supporting the resilience of epithelial cells.

Pathways

The involvement of CK-3 in cytoskeletal organization highlights its connection to certain critical signaling pathways such as the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell differentiation pathways. The interaction of CK-3 with proteins like Cytokeratin 12 regulates these pathways and contributes to maintaining corneal epithelial homeostasis and integrity. Such interactions enable CK-3 to help maintain the proper functioning and regeneration of epithelial barriers.

CK-3's alteration or dysfunction may contribute to corneal-related diseases such as keratitis and corneal dystrophies. Abnormalities or mutations in CK-3 affect corneal integrity leading to compromised vision and disease symptoms. In these disorders its interaction with proteins like AE5 which participates in corneal structural pathways can be disrupted leading to pathophysiological conditions affecting the corneal epithelium. Understanding CK-3's role in these diseases may help guide therapeutic strategies.
