关于 Krt20

功能概要

该基因编码角蛋白家族的一个成员，存在于 11 号染色体上的细胞角蛋白基因簇中。角蛋白是优先在上皮细胞中表达的细胞骨架蛋白。编码的蛋白质可能有助于维持肠上皮细胞的中间丝组织。这种蛋白质的磷酸化也可能影响小肠中粘蛋白的分泌。 [RefSeq 提供，2015 年 12 月]

This gene encodes a member of the keratin protein family and is found within a cluster of cytokeratin genes on chromosome 11. Keratins are cytoskeletal proteins that are preferentially expressed in epithelial cells. The encoded protein may help maintain intermediate filament organization in intestinal epithelium. Phosphorylation of this protein may also influence Mucin secretion in the small intestine. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
