Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide; defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; and intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; intermediate filament organization; and keratinization. Predicted to be located in keratin filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal or diffuse nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma. Orthologous to human KRT6C (keratin 6C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
