Synonyms: Cytokeratin 8 (CK8), also known as tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), is one of the earliest keratins expressed in embryos, and persists in adult tissues. CK8 and CK18 are major components of all simple epithelium but are not expressed in stratified squamous epithelium. CK8 has been reported to be expressed in the tissues of individuals with adenocarcinoma and has also been found in the serum of patients with adenocarcinoma.
