ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Caution, targets protein from more than one gene. Pending external verification. Protein expression in hair follicles can be correlated with GTEx RNA data.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type I hair keratin, it is an acidic protein which heterodimerizes with type II keratins to form hair and nails. The type I hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21 and have the same direction of transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
