The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. Most of the type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains and are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. This keratin has been coexpressed with keratin 14 in a number of epithelial tissues, including esophagus, tongue, and hair follicles. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 pachyonychia congenita, non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma and unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

靶标
基因名
KRT16
蛋白名
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 16
亚基
Heterodimer of a type I and a type II keratin. KRT16 associates with KRT6 isomers. Interacts with TCHP. Interacts with TRADD.
组织特异性
Expressed in the hair follicle, nail bed and in mucosal stratified squamous epithelia and, suprabasally, in oral epithelium and palmoplantar epidermis. Also found in luminal cells of sweat and mammary gland ducts.
疾病
Pachyonychia congenita 1 (PC1) [MIM:167200]: An autosomal dominant ectodermal dysplasia characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy resulting in onchyogryposis (thickening and increase in curvature of the nail), palmoplantar keratoderma, follicular hyperkeratosis, and oral leukokeratosis. Hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is usually present. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Keratoderma, palmoplantar, non-epidermolytic, focal (FNEPPK) [MIM:613000]: A dermatological disorder characterized by non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma limited to the pressure points on the balls of the feet, with later mild involvement on the palms. Oral, genital and follicular keratotic lesions are often present. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus (UPVN) [MIM:144200]: UPVN is characterized by a localized epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in parts of the right palm and the right sole, following the lines of Blaschko. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Note=KRT16 and KRT17 are coexpressed only in pathological situations such as metaplasias and carcinomas of the uterine cervix and in psoriasis vulgaris.
