About Krt4

Summary

Involved in epithelial cell differentiation and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in cell surface and keratin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; lower urinary tract; sensory organ; skin; and trachea. Used to study hereditary mucosal leukokeratosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary mucosal leukokeratosis. Orthologous to human KRT4 (keratin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
