Krt17 - keratin 17

Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hair follicle morphogenesis; positive regulation of hair follicle development; and positive regulation of translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within intermediate filament organization; keratinization; and morphogenesis of an epithelium. Predicted to be located in cell periphery; cytoplasm; and intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ectodermal dysplasia; pachyonychia congenita; and steatocystoma multiplex. Orthologous to human KRT17 (keratin 17).
