Krt87 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in intermediate filament organization and keratinization. Predicted to be active in keratin filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 5; hair disease; and monilethrix. Orthologous to several human genes including KRT81 (keratin 81); KRT83 (keratin 83); and KRT86 (keratin 86). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Krt87 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
