Target Details for KRT8

Target: KRT8 (Keratin 8 (KRT8))

Alternative Name: KRT8

Background:

Background: Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8, also known as cytokeratin-8 (CK-8) or keratin-8 (K8) is a keratin protein that is encoded in humans by the KRT8 gene. This gene is a member of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. Type I and type II keratins heteropolymerize to form intermediate-sized filaments in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The product of this gene typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. This protein plays a role in maintaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause cryptogenic cirrhosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene Full Name: keratin 8

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.

Molecular Weight: 54 kDa

Gene ID: 3856

UniProt: P05787
