Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25626

Summary

Predicted to enable scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in response to hydrostatic pressure and sarcomere organization. Located in keratin filament; myofibril; and sarcolemma. Part of dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to human KRT8 (keratin 8).
