======= KERA =======
== Gene Information ==
* **Official Symbol**: KERA
* **Official Name**: keratocan
* **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A
* **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=11081|11081]]
* **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/O60938|O60938]]

== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2).[provided by RefSeq, May 2010].
* **UniProt Summary**: May be important in developing and maintaining corneal transparency and for the structure of the stromal matrix. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:10802664, ECO:0000305|PubMed:11726611}.
