Stress, Apoptosis, and Mitosis Induce Phosphorylation of Human Keratin 8 at Ser-73 in Tissues and Cultured Cells
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Simple epithelia express keratins 8 (K8) and 18 (K18) as their major intermediate filament proteins. We previously showed that several types of cell stress such as heat and virus infection result in a distinct hyperphosphorylated form of K8 (termed HK8). To better characterize K8/18 phosphorylation, we generated monoclonal antibodies by immunizing mice with hyperphosphorylated keratins that were purified from...
