About KRT36

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:41,486,136-41,489,910 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 116 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. This type I hair keratin 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]
