Entrez ID 162605
Gene name Keratin 28
Gene symbol KRT28
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
K25IRS4KRT25D
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q21.2
Summary This gene encodes a member of the type I (acidic) keratin 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 a
