General annotation (Comments)

Subunit structure

Heterodimer of a type I and a type II keratin. KRT6 isomers associate with KRT16 and/or KRT17. Interacts with TCHP By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Predominates in the adult trunk skin, tongue, trachea/esophagus and eye. In adult skin, localization is restricted to hair follicles, where it is localized predominantly in the outer root sheath. Ref.2

Induction

With the exception of specific body sites, keratin-6 expression is induced under conditions of epithelial hyperproliferation such as wound healing, certain skin diseases, cancer, and by treatment of the skin with the phorbol ester PMA. Ref.2

Miscellaneous

There are two types of cytoskeletal and microfibrillar keratin, I (acidic) and II (neutral to basic) (40-55 and 56-70 kDa, respectively).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
