KRT23 - keratin 23 Gene
Also Known as K23; CK23; HAIK1
Species: Homo sapiens
About KRT23
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 119 orthologues and 68 paralogues. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 45.8), skin (RPKM 39.5) and 7 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. The type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains. The type I cytokeratin genes are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
