Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 71888 |
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. Predicted to be involved in epithelial cell differentiation and intermediate filament organization. Predicted to be located in intermediate filament. Predicted to be active in cytoskeleton. Orthologous to human KRT31 (keratin 31); KRT33A (keratin 33A); and KRT34 (keratin 34). PHENOTYPE: Mutations of this gene cause the hair coat to appear either shiny, reflective and "polished" or greasy looking, disheveled and "spikey." [provided by MGI curators] |
