KRT7 (Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 7) gene encodes a type II cytokeratin with a molar mass of 55kDa. It is expressed during the differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. It is also found in the epithelia lining the cavities of internal organs such as stomach.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: KRT7 (Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 7) is associated with human tumor marker protein p150, the largest subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3. It serves as a predictive marker for survival in patients suffering from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In conjugation with specific growth factors or hormones, KRT7 restricts interferon-dependent interphase followed by the stimulation of DNA synthesis.
