Cytokeratins play a cytoskeletal role in epithelial tissue and are an important component of intermediate filaments. These provide a structural framework for the cell and help resist mechanical stress. The mixture of AE1 and AE3 clones are able to detect a mixture of low and high molecular weight cytokeratins, thus identifying a broad range of cytokeratins. This marker can be used to identify the epithelial nature of tissue and tumors.
