Disease relevance of Krt23

  • Mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells express at least two isoforms of beta-tubulin, designated M beta I and M beta II, as revealed by isoelectrofocusing, whereas two independently isolated normal T-cell clones, 3D10 and K23, express only M beta I [1].
  • Using a combination of antibodies and RT-PCR, we identified additional keratins expressed in the mouse cornea including K23 which was previously thought to be specific for pancreatic carcinomas [2].
  • Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) were raised against the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus, strain K23 [3].
 

High impact information on Krt23

  • In isolated nuclei from 4T001 (gamma 2b) and K23 (gamma 2a) myeloma cells, the secretory-encoding mRNA polyadenylation site was used at least three times as often as the membrane-encoding mRNA polyadenylation site [4].
