Overview
KRT18 encodes the type I intermediate filament chain keratin 18. Keratin 18, together with its filament partner keratin 8, are perhaps the most commonly found members of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] -

Q&As (6)
Ask a questionKRT18 protein may be associated with nail diseases, such as brittle nails, white spots, and longitudinal cracks. These diseases can affect the hardness and structure of the nails, causing them to appear brittle, deformed, and painful.
KRT18 protein is not directly related to hair color. Hair color is mainly determined by melanocytes, while the KRT18 protein is mainly involved in the process of keratinization.
Genetic testing can be done by analyzing DNA sequences to understand genetic variation in the KRT18 protein. These variants may affect the expression level and function of the KRT18 protein, thereby increasing the risk of certain diseases.
Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising moderately, and avoiding UV damage, can affect the function and expression levels of KRT18 protein. These alterations can promote the normal function of keratinocytes, which can help maintain healthy skin.
Prevention of KRT18 protein-related diseases is mainly through maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, maintaining water intake, and avoiding UV damage. In addition, regular skin and oral exams can also help detect potential problems early.
In melanoma, the KRT18 protein may play a role in promoting tumor growth and metastasis. This may be related to the proliferation and migration of melanoma cells.
