Properties
Form Liquid
Storage instructions Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
Dissociation constant (KD) KD = 4.60 x 10 -10 M
Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab53280 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
WB 1/25000 - 1/50000. Detects a band of approximately 52 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 54 kDa).
IP 1/70.
Target
Function Together with KRT19, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of
striated muscle.
Tissue specificity Observed in muscle fibers accumulating in the costameres of myoplasm at the sarcolemma
membrane in structures that contain dystrophin and spectrin. Expressed in gingival mucosa and
hard palate of the oral cavity.
Involvement in disease Cirrhosis
Sequence similarities Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
Post-translational Phosphorylation on serine residues is enhanced during EGF stimulation and mitosis. Ser-74
modifications phosphorylation plays an important role in keratin filament reorganization.
O-glycosylated. O-GlcNAcylation at multiple sites increases solubility, and decreases stability by
inducing proteasomal degradation.
O-glycosylated (O-GlcNAcylated), in a cell cycle-dependent manner.
Cellular localization Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus matrix.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence
analysis of HeLa (human cervix
adenocarcinoma) labelling Cytokeratin 8 with
purified ab53280 at 1/500. Cells were fixed
with 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilised
by 0.1% tritonX-100. An Alexa Fluor® 488-
conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was
used as the secondary antibody (Ab150077).
Nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue).
Secondary

ab53280 staining Cytokeratin 8 in Mouse liver
tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-
P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-
embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with
formalin and blocked with 10% serum for 20
minutes at 23°C; antigen retrieval was by heat
mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were
incubated with primary antibody (1/75 in TBS
+ 1% BSA) for 1 hour at 23°C. A Biotin-
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin- conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal
embedded sections) - Anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody.

with ab53280 (red line). The cells were fixed
with 2% PFA (room temperature, 30 min) and
then permeabilized with 1% FACS
permeabilizing solution for 30 min. The cells
were then incubated in 3% FBS in 1X
PBS followed by the antibody (ab53280, 1/20
dilution) for 1 hour at room temperature. The
cells were then incubated for 30 min at room
Flow Cytometry - Anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody temperature with the secondary antibody. An
[EP1628Y] (ab53280) isotype control antibody (black line) was used
and an unlabelled sample (blue line) was also
used as a control.
