KRT73

Also known as IRT6IRS3, K6IRS3, KRT6IRS3, keratin 73, K73, CK-73

KRT73 is a keratin gene. It is responsible for hair formation, along with other genes, and it encodes a protein present in the inner root sheath of hair follicles.

Gene data

KRT73

Name: keratin 73
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CK-73, IRT6IRS3, K6IRS3, K73, KRT6IRS3

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.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009].
