Background:

In Bowen’s disease, the characteristic malignancy of the epidermis exhibits distinct expression patterns of Cytokeratin 14. Mutations in the gene encoding human Cytokeratin 14 lead to epidermolysis bullosa simplex, an inheritied skin disorder characterized by skin blistering due to basal keratinocyte fragility.Cytokeratin 16 is expressed in benign stratified squamous epithelium and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, as well as luminal cells of mammary gland and sweat ducts. It is absent in noninvasive breast carcinomas and normal breast tissue. Mutations in the Cytokeratin 16 gene cause various diseases, including pachyonychia congenita type 1 (PC1), nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK) and unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus (UPVN).

Specificity:

Cytokeratin 14/16 (S5) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Cytokeratin 14 and Cytokeratin 16 protein.
