Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3857
Gene name Keratin 9
Gene symbol KRT9
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CK-9EPPKEPPK1K9
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q21.2
Summary This gene encodes the type I keratin 9, an intermediate filament chain expressed only in the terminally differentiated epidermis of palms and soles. Mutations in this gene cause epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
