Anti-KRT76 antibody produced in rabbit

KRT76 (Keratin 76) is a type II epithelial structural protein belonging to the intermediate filament (IF) group of proteins. Structurally, it is composed of α-helical, rod shaped central domain, which is responsible for filament formation. Non-helical head and tail domains flank the central domain. It is expressed in the suprabasal cell layers of oral masticatory epithelium.

Anti-KRT76 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

KRT76 (Keratin 76) is a building block of epidermal cytoskeleton involved in wide range of cellular functions including protection from apoptosis, and injury, regulation of epithelial polarity, control of cell size and protein translation. It forms a link between the intermediate filament cytoskeleton network and tight junctions. In mice, KRT76 plays a vital role in postnatal survival. Its downregulated expression has been reported in oral carcinogenesis of human.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
