KRT17P5
Description
The KRT17P5 (keratin 17 pseudogene 5) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 17.
KRT17P5 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 12. It is a non-coding gene that shares a high degree of sequence similarity with the functional keratin gene KRT17. Pseudogenes are often considered to be inactive copies of functional genes, but their roles are not fully understood.
The function of KRT17P5 is currently unknown. However, its structural similarity to other keratins suggests a possible role in maintaining the integrity of epithelial tissues.
KRT17P5 is also known as -.
