Gene information for KRT14 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3861
Official gene symbolKRT14
Full namekeratin 14
Aliases,CK14,EBS3,EBS4,K14,NFJ,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the keratin family, the most diverse group of intermediate filaments. This gene product, a type I keratin, is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex. At least one pseudogene has been identified at 17p12-p11. [provided by RefSeq]
