Description: Keratin 14 belongs to the type A (acidic) subfamily of low molecular weight keratins and exists in combination with keratin 5. Keratin 14 has been studied as a prognostic marker in breast cancer. This is an excellent antibody for immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
