Summary: Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity. A structural constituent of skin epidermis. Involved in positive regulation of epidermis development. Acts upstream of or within intermediate filament organization and keratinocyte development. Located in cytoplasm and keratin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; integumental system; male reproductive gland or organ; nervous system; and neural retina. Used to study bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma and ichthyosis. Orthologous to human KRT2 (keratin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

This study demonstrates that the loss of the main cytoskeletal components of plantar epidermis, i.e. K2 and K10, can be only partly compensated by the upregulation of other keratins.
Title: Keratins K2 and K10 are essential for the epidermal integrity of plantar skin.
Loss of keratin K2 expression causes aberrant aggregation of K10, hyperkeratosis, and inflammation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
