Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes the type I keratin 9, an intermediate filament chain expressed only in the terminally differentiated epidermis of palms and soles. Mutations in this gene cause epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
- UniProt Summary: May serve an important special function either in the mature palmar and plantar skin tissue or in the morphogenetic program of the formation of these tissues. Plays a role in keratin filament assembly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10218578, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7507869}.
