| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable structural molecule activity. Involved in cornea development in camera-type eye and morphogenesis of an epithelium. Acts upstream of or within epithelium development. Predicted to be located in intermediate filament. Predicted to be active in cytoskeleton. Is expressed in cornea; cornea epithelium; head; lower jaw molar; and upper jaw molar. Used to study Meesmann corneal dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meesmann corneal dystrophy 1 and corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to human KRT12 (keratin 12). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants display abnormal and fragile corneal epithelium. [provided by MGI curators] |
