Protein Name:
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 17
|
UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9QWL7 (Q9QWL7)
Gene Name:
Krt17
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Type I keratin involved in the formation and maintenance of various skin appendages, specifically in determining shape and orientation of hair (PubMed:14714564, PubMed:16702408). Required for the correct growth of hair follicles, in particular for the persistence of the anagen (growth) state (PubMed:16702408). Modulates the function of TNF-alpha in the specific context of hair cycling. Regulates protein synthesis and epithelial cell growth through binding to the adapter protein SFN and by stimulating Akt/mTOR pathway (PubMed:16710422). Involved in tissue repair. May be a marker of basal cell differentiation in complex epithelia and therefore indicative of a certain type of epithelial 'stem cells'. Acts as a promoter of epithelial proliferation by acting a regulator of immune response in skin: promotes Th1/Th17-dominated immune environment contributing to the development of basaloid skin tumors (PubMed:20871598). May act as an autoantigen in the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis, with certain peptide regions being a major target for autoreactive T-cells and hence causing their proliferation
