Reacts specifically with keratins from human tissues and derived cell lines. This antibody reacts with keratin (56 kDa), keratin 17 (46 kDa), keratin 18 (45 kDa) and keratin 19 (40 kDa) derived from humans. Cross reactivity with keratins from other sources has not been determined. No reaction is expected against other filament proteins including vimentin, desmin and neurofilament protein.
Keratins 6 and 16 are expressed in keratinocytes, which are undergoing rapid turnover in the suprabasal region (also known as hyperproliferation-related keratins). Keratin 6 is found in hair follicles, suprabasal cells of a variety of internal stratified epithelia, in epidermis, in both normal and hyperproliferative situations. Epidermal injury results in activation of keratinocytes which express CK6 and CK16. CK6 is strongly expressed in about 75% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Expression of CK6 is particularly associated with differentiation.
