Krt71 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in hair follicle morphogenesis; intermediate filament organization; and keratinization. Predicted to be active in keratin filament. Used to study alopecia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypotrichosis 13. Orthologous to human KRT71 (keratin 71).

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 rat Krt71 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- structural constituent of cytoskeleton
- Intermediate filament protein
- Keratin type II head
