Symbol: Krt12
Full name: keratin 12
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Summary: Predicted to enable structural molecule activity. Involved in cornea development in camera-type eye and morphogenesis of an epithelium. Acts upstream of or within epithelium development. Predicted to be located in intermediate filament. Is expressed in cornea; cornea epithelium; head; lower jaw molar; and upper jaw molar. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meesmann corneal dystrophy 1 and corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to human KRT12 (keratin 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
