DISEASE | Defects in KRT74 are a cause of woolly hair autosomal dominant (ADWH) [MIM:194300]. A hair shaft disorder characterized by fine and tightly curled hair. Compared to normal curly hair that is observed in some populations, woolly hair grows slowly and stops growing after a few inches. Under light microscopy, woolly hair shows some structural anomalies, including trichorrexis nodosa and tapered ends. |

Background Descriptions | Keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into epithelial keratins and hair keratins. This protein belongs to a family of keratins that are specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of hair follicles.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009] |

Other Names | Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 74, Cytokeratin-74, CK-74, Keratin-5c, K5C, Keratin-74, K74, Type II inner root sheath-specific keratin-K6irs4, Type-II keratin Kb37, KRT74, K6IRS4, KB37, KRT5C, KRT6IRS4 |
Target/Specificity | Highly expressed in hair follicles from scalp. In hair, it is specifically present in the inner root sheath (IRS) of the hair follicle. Present in the IRS Huxley layer, but not in Henle layer or cuticle of the IRS. In the IRS Huxley layer, it is expressed in specialized Huxley cells, termed 'Fluegelzellen, along the area of differentiated Henle cells (at protein level). |
Dilution | WB=1:500-2000,IHC-P=1:100-500,IHC-F=1:100-500,ICC=1:100-500,IF=1:100-500 |
Format | 0.01M TBS(pH7.4), 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide and 50% Glyce |
Storage | Store at -20 ℃ for one year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. When reconstituted in sterile pH 7.4 0.01M PBS or diluent of antibody the antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-4 ℃. |
