Krt86

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; hair disease; and monilethrix. Orthologous to several human genes including KRT86 (keratin 86).

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 rat Krt86 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

Biological processes and signaling networks where the Krt86 gene in rat plays a role, providing insight into its function and relevance in health or disease.
