KRT76
Description
The KRT76 (keratin 76) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
KRT76 is a gene that encodes a keratin protein. Reduced expression or activity of this gene has been linked to the development of oral cancer.
KRT76 likely contributes to the process of terminal cornification.
KRT76 is also known as HUMCYT2A, KRT2B, KRT2P.
