Biological function summary
CK19 plays a role in maintaining the cytoskeletal framework that provides mechanical support and helps control cell size and shape. It is not part of a large protein complex but works closely with other cytokeratins to ensure the stability and resilience of epithelial tissues. The A53-B/A22.26 positive staining is often used to confirm its presence in clinical histopathology.
Pathways
CK19 connects to cellular processes especially involving the keratinization and epithelial cell differentiation pathways. It interacts with other cytokeratins including BA16 and KR17 to facilitate these processes. This interaction aids in modulating the dynamics of cytoskeletal rearrangement during cell movement division and differentiation.
