    Summary
    Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hair cycle; keratinocyte migration; and skin development. Predicted to act upstream of or within intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in intermediate filament. Biomarker of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ectodermal dysplasia; focal nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma 1; and pachyonychia congenita. Orthologous to human KRT16 (keratin 16).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
