About KRT38

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:41,436,154-41,440,983 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 29 orthologues and 68 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type I hair keratin, it is an acidic protein which heterodimerizes with type II keratins to form hair and nails. The type I hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21 and have the same direction of transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
