Cytokeratin 10 also known as Keratin10, CK10, KRT10 is a member of the type I (acidic) cytokeratin family, Cytokeratin 10 plays a vital role in maintaining cellular integrity and resilience against mechanical stress. Cytokeratin 10 is part of a heterotetrameric structure, typically associated with keratin 1, and Cytokeratin 10 expression is essential for the differentiation of keratinocytes, contributing to the formation of the protective barrier of the skin. Cytokeratin 10 is particularly significant in the context of squamous cell carcinomas, as Cytokeratin 10 serves as a marker for tissue differentiation, aiding in the characterization and diagnosis of malignant tumors.
