Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Keratin 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT9 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts KRT9, Identifiers ...

Keratin 9 is a type I cytokeratin. It is found only in the terminally differentiated epidermis of palms and soles. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein cause epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.[7]
