KRT38
Name
keratin 38
Synonyms
  • HA8
  • hair keratin, type I Ha8
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
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type I hair keratin, it is an acidic protein which heterodimerizes with type II keratins to form hair and nails. The type I hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21 and have the same direction of transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
