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]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
