- Description
- Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in intermediate filament organization and keratinization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in keratin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including EVL; cardiovascular system; integument; pectoral fin; and sensory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Meesmann corneal dystrophy 2; autosomal dominant woolly hair; hypotrichosis (multiple); ichthyosis (multiple); and palmoplantar keratosis (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including KRT8 (keratin 8).
