KRT18 encodes the type I intermediate filament chain keratin 18. Keratin 18, together with its filament partner keratin 8, are perhaps the most commonly found members of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for KRT18.
Fully tested in-house by ABMIUM, or supported by an advanced validation report from a partner reviewed by ABMIUM. Highest confidence. Non-conformities fully supported under the ABMIUM Product Promise.
Quality verified. Independent collaborator or expected-performance data available. Product meets ABMIUM quality standards.

Keratin 18 (KRT18), also known as cytokeratin 18, CK-18 and K18, is a type I cytoskeletal intermediate-filament protein. This ABMIUM target record connects NCBI Gene 3875 and UniProtKB P05783 to catalogue-backed research products.
Biological function: Keratin 18 (KRT18/CK-18) is a type I intermediate-filament protein expressed prominently in simple epithelial cells. It forms heteropolymeric filaments, notably with keratin 8, that contribute to cytoskeletal organisation, mechanical stability and epithelial-cell resilience.
