| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Acts upstream of or within establishment of skin barrier and negative regulation of inflammatory response. Located in keratin filament. Is active in cornified envelope. Is expressed in autopod; nose; skin; and tongue. Used to study epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in KRT1-related nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma; epidermolytic hyperkeratosis; epidermolytic hyperkeratosis 1; epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma 2; and keratosis palmoplantaris striata 3. Orthologous to human KRT1 (keratin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous for a dominant mutation exhibit significant blistering and skin erosions at birth and develop severe hyperkeratosis as adults. Mice homozygous for the dominant mutation also exhibit blistering, and die before weaning age. [provided by MGI curators] |
