Function
Keratin-7 is a member of the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. Keratin-7 is found in simple glandular epithelia, and in transitional epithelium. Epithelial cells of the lung and breast both contain keratin-7, but some other glandular epithelia, such as those of the colon and prostate, do not. Because the keratin-7 antigen is found in both healthy and neoplastic cells, antibodies to CK7 can be used in immunohistochemistry to distinguish ovarian and transitional cell carcinomas from colonic and prostate cancers, respectively.

Sequence Similarity
Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in cultured epidermal, bronchial and mesothelial cells but absent in colon, ectocervix and liver. Observed throughout the glandular cells in the junction between stomach and esophagus but is absent in the esophagus.
Post-translational Modification
Arg-20 is dimethylated, probably to asymmetric dimethylarginine.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human breast tissue with Rabbit anti-Cytokeratin 7 antibody (R1309-4) at 1/5,000 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (R1309-4) at 1/5,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX. -

☑ Knockdown (KD)
All lanes: Western blot analysis of Cytokeratin 7 with anti-Cytokeratin 7 antibody(R1309-4) at 1:1,000 dilution.
Lane 1/2: Wild-type Hela whole cell lysate (20 µg).
Lane 3/4: Cytokeratin 7 fragment 1 knockdown Hela whole cell lysate (20 µg).
Lane 5/6: Cytokeratin 7 fragment 2 knockdown Hela whole cell lysate (20 µg).
R1309-4 was shown to specifically react with Cytokeratin 7 in wild-type Hela cells. Weakened bands were observed when Cytokeratin 7 knockdown samples were tested. Wild-type and Cytokeratin 7 knockdown samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM in TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (R1309-4, 1/1,000) and Loading control antibody (Rabbit anti-GAPDH , ET1601-4, 1/10,000) were used in 5% BSA at room temperature for 2 hours. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1:200,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature. -
Western blot analysis of Cytokeratin 7 on A549 cell lysate. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% BSA in PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody was used at a 1/500 dilution in 5% BSA at room temperature for 2 hours. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1:5,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.

ICC staining Cytokeratin 7 in Hela cells (green). Formalin fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with 1% Blocker BSA for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with Cytokeratin 7 polyclonal antibody at a dilution of 1:100 for 1 hour at room temperature, washed with PBS. Alexa Fluor™ 488 Goat anti-Rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody at 1/100 dilution. The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue).

Cells were probed with Cytokeratin 7 polyclonal antibody at a dilution of 1:100 for 1 hour at room temperature, washed with PBS. Alexa Fluor™ 488 Goat anti-Rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody at 1/100 dilution. The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue).

Flow cytometric analysis of Cytokeratin 7 was done on Hela cells. The cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained with Cytokeratin 7 antibody at 1/100 dilution (blue) compared with an unlabelled control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; red). After incubation of the primary antibody on room temperature for an hour, the cells was stained with a Alexa Fluor™ 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG Secondary antibody at 1/500 dilution for 30 minutes.
