description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Acts upstream of or within epidermis development; pigmentation; and sebaceous gland development. Predicted to be active in keratin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including eyelid; metapodial pad; secondary palate; skin; and snout. Orthologous to human KRT76 (keratin 76). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes mutants exhibit abnormalities in the hair cycle, tail skin and pigmentation, in the epidermis, and in the sebaceous gland. [provided by MGI curators] |
