Pankeratin (abbreviated panker), also known as pancytokeratin, refers to an immunostain that markers abroad array of keratins.
Keratin may be used as a synonym for pankeratin. A general discussion about different types of keratins is found in the keratins article.
Overview
Several pankeratins exists;[1] thus, pankeratin as a descriptor is not very specific.
