KRT16P3


Description

The KRT16P3 (keratin 16 pseudogene 3) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 17.

KRT16P3 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 12. It is a non-functional copy of the KRT16 gene, which encodes a type I keratin protein. KRT16P3 does not produce a protein because it contains mutations that disrupt its coding sequence. Pseudogenes like KRT16P3 can serve as a source of genetic variation, and they may play a role in gene regulation.

KRT16P3 is a pseudogene, meaning it is a non-functional copy of a functional gene (in this case, KRT16). Pseudogenes are remnants of ancestral genes that have lost their protein-coding ability due to mutations. They are not transcribed or translated into proteins, and their functions are not well understood.

KRT16P3 is also known as KERSMCR.
