KRT5 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 613 amino acids (1-590) and having a molecular mass of 64.8 kDa. KRT5 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus. Cytokeratin 5 (KRT5) belongs to the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins are comprised of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed throughout differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13. The KRT5 type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. Mutations in these genes are linked with a complex of diseases termed epidermolysis bullosa simplex.
