Keratin 18 pseudogene 55 (KRT18P55)

Target: KRT18P55
Molecular classification: Pseudogene, Type I keratin pseudogene

Overview

Keratin 18 pseudogene 55 (KRT18P55) is a non-coding DNA sequence in the human genome with high homology to the functional keratin 18 (KRT18) gene, which is an intermediate filament protein in epithelial cells. As a pseudogene, KRT18P55 does not produce a protein, and there is no evidence of functional RNA or involvement in cellular processes. The existence of many keratin pseudogenes in the human genome is well documented, and they are generally classified as annotation artifacts or evolutionary relics lacking function. KRT18P55 is cataloged on chromosome 17 and referenced in gene databases, but it is not used as a disease biomarker, drug target, or functional molecular component in therapeutics or diagnostics.
