KRT2
Description
The KRT2 (keratin 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
KRT2A, also known as keratin 2E or keratin 2, is a protein encoded by the KRT2A gene in humans. It is a type II cytokeratin found mainly in the upper spinous layer of epidermal keratinocytes. Mutations in the KRT2A gene have been linked to ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens.
KRT2 is also known as CK-2e, K2e, KRT2A, KRT2E, KRTE.
