Pan cytokeratin also known as cytokeratin AE1/AE3 is a cytoskeletal protein complex that consists of different keratin polypeptides. It mechanically supports epithelial cells contributing to their structural integrity. The protein mass is variable due to its composite nature ranging between 40 to 67 kDa. Pan cytokeratin is expressed in epithelial tissues throughout the body serving as a reliable marker for identifying epithelial origin cells in histological studies.
Keratins in pan cytokeratin contribute to maintaining structural stability within epithelial cells. They act as components of the cytoskeletal network interacting with other cellular structures to provide protection from stress and mechanical damage. Pan cytokeratin exists as part of the intermediate filament protein complex which plays a significant role in cellular mechanics and cohesion essential for tissue integrity.
Intermediate filaments containing pan cytokeratin participate in pathways related to cell differentiation and stress response. Its interactions with other proteins like desmoplakin and plectin link the cytoskeletal filaments to cell membranes and the extracellular matrix. This involvement is important in pathways related to cellular structural integrity and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Pan cytokeratin serves as a critical marker in the diagnosis of epithelial-derived cancers such as carcinoma and conditions like psoriasis. Abnormal expression patterns of pan cytokeratin indicate tumor presence and origin. Its connection to proteins such as E-cadherin and vimentin assists in understanding the progression and metastasis of cancer by facilitating EMT and tissue invasion diagnostics.

Imaging Mass Cytometry™ (IMC™) image of human lung cancer tissue stained with Anti-pan Cytokeratin antibody [AE1/AE3]. ab80826 (carrier-free antibody, purified) was metal-conjugated using a Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm. Immunostaining was performed according to Fluidigm's protocols. Briefly, slides were subject to deparaffinization and heat-induced epitope retrieval, followed by overnight incubation at 4°C with an antibody cocktail containing metal-tagged antibodies in blocking buffer. Slides were subsequently washed with 0.2% Triton-X and 1x PBS, counterstained with Cell-ID™ Intercalator-Ir diluted at 1/400 in 1x PBS for 30 min at room temperature, rinsed for 5 min with distilled H2O, and air-dried prior to IMC™ acquisition. IMC™ acquisition was performed using the Fluidigm Hyperion™ Imaging System.

Overlay histogram showing A431 cells stained with ab80826 (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 followed by the antibody (ab80826, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
