Keratin 8 pseudogene 46 (KRT8P46)

Target: KRT8P46
Molecular classification: Other (Pseudogene)

Overview

Keratin 8 pseudogene 46 (KRT8P46) is characterized as a pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence resembling the Keratin 8 gene (KRT8) but has lost the ability to encode a functional protein through evolutionary mutation or sequence disruption. Pseudogenes do not contribute to normal biologic processes, are not involved in cellular pathways, and cannot serve as drug targets, disease-associated genes, or biomarkers. Occasionally, KRT8P46 may be confused with the functional Keratin 8 gene (KRT8), which codes for an intermediate filament protein important for epithelial cell structure and has clinical relevance; however, KRT8P46 itself has no such role.
