KRT10 Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P13645

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KRT10

Target Full Name

Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 10

Target Function

Plays a role in the establishment of the epidermal barrier on plantar skin.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a mediator of S.aureus adherence to desquamated nasal epithelial cells via clfB, and hence may play a role in nasal colonization.; (Microbial infection) Binds S.pneumoniae PsrP, mediating adherence of the bacteria to lung cell lines. Reduction of levels of KRT10 keratin decrease adherence, overexpression increases adherence. Neither protein has to be glycosylated for the interaction to occur.

Target Involvement

Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK); Ichthyosis annular epidermolytic (AEI); Erythroderma, ichthyosiform, congenital reticular (CRIE)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space. Cell surface.

Target Protein Families

Intermediate filament family

Target Tissue Specificity

Seen in all suprabasal cell layers including stratum corneum. Expressed on the surface of lung cell lines.

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the type I (acidic) cytokeratin family, which belongs to the superfamily of intermediate filament (IF) proteins. Keratins are heteropolymeric structural proteins which form the intermediate filament. These filaments, along with actin microfilaments and microtubules, compose the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. This gene is located within a cluster of keratin family members on chromosome 17q21.
