Summary: Enables keratin filament binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intermediate filament bundle assembly; negative regulation of keratinocyte migration; and regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including apicolateral plasma membrane; basal part of cell; and cell-cell junction. Colocalizes with keratin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver and biliary system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human EPPK1 (epiplakin 1).

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.
