KRT8 is a member of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. Type I and type II keratins heteropolymerize to form intermediate-sized filaments in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The product of KRT8 typically dimerizes with keratin 18 to form an intermediate filament in simple single-layered epithelial cells. Keratin 8 plays a role in maintaining cellular structural integrity and also functions in signal transduction and cellular differentiation. Mutations in KRT8 cause cryptogenic cirrhosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for KRT8.蛋白别名为:KRT8; CYK8; Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8; Cytokeratin-8; CK-8; Keratin-8; K8; Type-II keratin Kb8;基因ID为:3856;蛋白质ID:P05787
