Cytokeratin
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Cytokeratins are intermediate filament keratins found in epithelial tissue. There are two types of cytokeratins the acidic type I cytokeratins and the basic or neutral type II cytokeratins. Cytokeratins are usually found in pairs comprising a type I cytokeratin and a type II cytokeratin. Usually the type II cytokeratins are 8kD larger than their type I counterparts.
