Product description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or
neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin
chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified
epithelial tissues. As many as six of this type II cytokeratin
(KRT6) have been identified; the multiplicity of the genes is
attributed to successive gene duplication events. The genes are
expressed with family members KRT16 and/or KRT17 in the filiform
papillae of the tongue, the stratified epithelial lining of oral
mucosa and esophagus, the outer root sheath of hair follicles, and
the glandular epithelia. This KRT6 gene in particular encodes the
most abundant isoform. Mutations in these genes have been
associated with pachyonychia congenita. The type II cytokeratins
are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13. [provided by
