KRT71
Sign in to saveAlso known as HYPT13, K6IRS1, KRT6IRS, KRT6IRS1, keratin 71
KRT71 is a keratin gene. Keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into epithelial keratins and hair keratins. This gene encodes a protein that is expressed in the inner root sheath of hair follicles. The type II keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13.
