Cytokeratins in Epithelial Cells Keratins Lamins
Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex arises from keratin point mutations • Dowling-Meara - widespread blistering • Koebner - blistering confined to hands and feet • Weber-Cockayne - least severe
Normal Skin Squalous cell carcinoma Cancer detection Cytokeratins are normally expresssed in skin but not in the underlying tissues. Antibody staining can reveal hyperplasia and metastasis of epithelial cells into those tissues as a cancer progresses.
