This Monoclonal antibody represents an excellent marker for certain types of carcinomas such as adenocarcinomas of the colon, transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder and Merkel cell tumors of the skin. Very sensitive detection of intestestinal and gastric foveolar epithelium, urothelial umbrella cells, Merkel cells of epidermis as well as tumors originating therefrom (e.g. primary and metastatic colorectal carcinoma). Adenocarcinomas of breast, lung, endometrium and ovary (non-mucinous) as well as neuroendocrine tumors of the lung are essentially negative. Polypeptide Recognized: Protein IT (keratin K20, Mr 46 000, also designated Cytokeratin 20). Tested Reactivities on Cultured Cell Lines: HT-29, LoVo, DLD-1, SW 1116, CaCo-2, RT-4.

Cytokeratin 20 is a 46 kDa intermediate filament protein whose expression is restricted primarily to gastric and intestinal epithelium, urothelium, and Merkel cells. This antibody is highly specific to cytokeratin 20 and shows no cross-reactivity with other IFPs. Cytokeratin 20 is a unique type I keratin that is expressed in adenocarcinomas of the colon stomach, pancreas and bile system. It is also expressed in mucinous ovarian tumors, transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary tract, and Merkel cell carcinomas.Synonyms: CK20, Cytokeratin 20, K20, KRT20, Keratin type I cytoskeletal 20, Keratin-20, Protein IT
