KRT10

This gene encodes a member of the type I (acidic) cytokeratin family, which belongs to the superfamily of intermediate filament (IF) proteins. Keratins are heteropolymeric structural proteins which form the intermediate filament. These filaments, along with actin microfilaments and microtubules, compose the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. This gene is located within a cluster of keratin family members on chromosome 17q21. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Interaction

Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins. Heterodimer with KRT1 (PubMed:27595935). Two heterodimers of KRT1 and KRT10 form a heterotetramer (PubMed:27595935). The KRT10 subunit in the heterotetramer is probably disulfide-linked (Probable). (Microbial infection) Interacts (via C-terminal tail domain) with the S.aureus clumping factor, clfB; this interaction probably mediates S.aureus attachment to the keratinized squamous epithelial cells from the nasal cavity. (Microbial infection) Interacts (via the C-terminal tail domain) with S.pneumoniae serine-rich repeat protein PsrP; this interaction probably mediates S.pneumoniae adherence to lung tissue and subsequent pathogenesis. Neither protein has to be glycosylated for the interaction to occur.
