KRT82 (NM_033033) - keratin 82

Keratin, Type Ii Cuticular Hb2

PTM Interaction Network Visualisation

Protein summary

This is preferred isoform of KRT82 protein.
KRT82: keratin, type II cuticular Hb2
Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type II hair keratin, it is a basic protein which heterodimerizes with type I keratins to form hair and nails. The type II hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13 and are grouped into two distinct subfamilies based on structure similarity. One subfamily, consisting of KRTHB1, KRTHB3, and KRTHB6, is highly related. The other less-related subfamily includes KRTHB2, KRTHB4, and KRTHB5. All hair keratins are expressed in the hair follicle; this keratin appears to be a hair cuticle-specific keratin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
