Also known as HA8, KRTHA8, hHa8, keratin 38
KRT38 is a keratin gene. Its corresponding protein is asymmetrically distributed within human hair follicles. It does not have murine or equine orthologs. The encoded protein is a type I keratin and a hair keratin.
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].
