Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable structural molecule activity. Predicted to be involved in epithelial cell differentiation and intermediate filament organization. Located in extracellular exosome.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a member of the type I (acidic) keratin family, which belongs to the superfamily of intermediate filament (IF) proteins. Keratins are heteropolymeric structural proteins which form the intermediate filament. These filaments, along with actin microfilaments and microtubules, compose the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. The type I keratin genes are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]
