Cytokeratin 2e antibody was raised in mouse using a synthetic peptide (N-terminal amino acids 2-23) of human cytokeratin 2e as the immunogen.
Keratins are the major gene product of keratinocytes and form the intermediate filament cytoskeletal network in these cells. In cells of the upper spinous layer, KRT2E and KRT9 are expressed. Although the expression of KRT9 is limited to palmoplantar epidermis, KRT2E is expressed not only in this tissue but also in other regions, notably the epidermis covering the knee, thigh, and groin. It is not known whether these keratins simply replace their respective type I or type II counterpart in the preexisting KRT1/KRT10 network or dimerize with another, as yet undiscovered keratin partner.
