About Krt20

Chromosome 11: 99,319,229-99,328,976 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM001004.3

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 103 orthologues and 69 paralogues. Biased expression in large intestine adult (RPKM 276.4), small intestine adult (RPKM 251.1) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the keratin protein family and is found within a cluster of cytokeratin genes on chromosome 11. Keratins are cytoskeletal proteins that are preferentially expressed in epithelial cells. The encoded protein may help maintain intermediate filament organization in intestinal epithelium. Phosphorylation of this protein may also influence Mucin secretion in the small intestine. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
