Keratin 10
open-in-new
<h2 id="function">Function</h2> <p>Keratin-10 is a member of the type I (acidic) cytokeratin family, which belongs to the superfamily of <a href="/facts/Intermediate_filament/ocjFHTvJ">intermediate filament</a> (IF) proteins. Keratins are heteropolymeric structural proteins which form the intermediate filament. These filaments, along with <a href="/facts/Actin_microfilament/TR7qU9Jv">actin microfilaments</a> and <a href="/facts/Microtubule/ENL1TxSe">microtubules</a>, compose the <a href="/facts/Cytoskeleton/1sWlJRX9">cytoskeleton</a> of <a href="/facts/Epithelial_cell/ecKHcHC3">epithelial cells</a>. Mutations in this gene are associated with <a href="/facts/Epidermolytic_hyperkeratosis/k4IjYYlz">epidermolytic hyperkeratosis</a>. This gene is located within a cluster of keratin family members on chromosome 17q21.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="interactions">Interactions</h2> <p>Keratin 10 has been shown to <a href="/facts/Protein-protein_interaction/etvm9Wmg">interact</a> with <a href="/facts/AKT1/QmIVhwLs">AKT1</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/34%25CE%25B2E12/GStA2I5L">34βE12</a> (keratin 903)</li></ul> <h2 id="further-reading">Further reading</h2> <ul><li>Yang JM, Nam K, Kim SW, et al.
