Target Details for Cytokeratin 18

Target: Cytokeratin 18 (KRT18) (Keratin 18 (KRT18))

Alternative Name: Cytokeratin 18

Background: Cytokeratin 18, also known as CK18, CYK18, KRT18. Entrez Protein NP_000215. It encodes the type I intermediate filament chain keratin 18. Keratin 18, together with its filament partner keratin 8, are perhaps the most commonly found members of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
Synonyms: CK18, CYK18, KRT18
