Cytokeratin 7

Description

Cytokeratin 7 is an intermediate filament protein (IFP) of 54 kDa that recognizes the simple epithelium found in most glandular and transitional epithelia; but not that which is found in the stratified squamous epithelia. This rabbit monoclonal antibody [clone BC1] is highly specific to cytokeratin 7 and shows no cross-reaction with other IFP’s. Cytokeratin 7 is expressed in epithelial cells of ovary, lung and breast. It is often used in conjunction with cytokeratin 20 and CDX-2 in distinguishing pulmonary, ovarian and breast carcinomas (CK7+) from most colon carcinomas (CK7-).
