Description
Keratins (cytokeratins) are intermediate filament proteins that are mainly expressed in epithelial cells. Keratin heterodimers composed of an acidic keratin (or type I keratin, keratins 9 to 23) and a basic keratin (or type II keratin, keratins 1 to 8) assemble to form filaments . Keratin isoforms demonstrate tissue- and differentiation-specific profiles that make them useful as biomarkers . Mutations in keratin genes are associated with skin disorders, liver and pancreatic diseases, and inflammatory intestinal diseases . Keratin 7 and Keratin 19 have been shown to be present in hepatic and pancreatic progenitor/stem cells . Synonyms: KRT19 , K1CS, CK19, K19, CK 19, Cytokeratin 19
