KDF1 - Kdf1 keratinocyte differentiation factor 1 Gene

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of epidermal cell differentiation; regulation of epidermal cell division; and skin development. Predicted to act upstream of or within keratinocyte development and negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell leading edge; mitotic spindle; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cell junction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ectodermal dysplasia 12. Orthologous to human KDF1 (keratinocyte differentiation factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
