MW 56,000 (pI 7.8) intermediate filament polypeptide, keratin K6, detected by immunohistochemistry in non-keratinized squamous epithelia and proliferating cells of epidermis (e.g. within psoriatic lesions). The antibody is completely negative on non-stratified epithelia. Suitable for discrimination of keratinizing and non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma versus e.g. poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma
