Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 2 epidermal

The keratin multigene family is made of soft epithelial cytokeratins and hard hair keratins. While the epithelial cytokeratins are involved in the layering and formation of epithelia, the hair keratins are responsible for creating nails and hair. There are two types of keratins: the acidic class I keratin proteins and the basic/neutral class II keratin proteins. Keratin 2 (KRT2), also known as Keratin type II cytoskeletal 2 epidermal, Keratin-2e (K2e), KRTE, Cytokeratin-2e (CK-2e), KRT2A or KRT2E, is a 639 amino acid class II epithelial Keratin protein belonging to the intermediate filament family. Encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 12q13.13, Keratin 2 functions in epidermal keratinocyte activation and proliferation, and plays a part in terminal cornification. Highly expressed in upper epithelial tissues, Keratin 2 forms heterotetramers with two class I Keratins and another class II Keratin. Defects in Keratin 2 have been linked to ichthyosis bullosa of Siemens (IBS), a rare autosomal dominant skin disorder.
