Entrez gene ID25984
Official gene symbolKRT23
Full namekeratin 23 (histone deacetylase inducible)
Aliases,CK23,DKFZp434G032,HAIK1,K23,MGC26158,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. The type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains. The type I cytokeratin genes are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21.
