Mutant Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins (Mutant Keratin IF)
- Target
- Mutant Keratin IF
- Molecular classification
- Intermediate Filament Protein, Keratin, Structural protein
01
Overview
Mutant keratin intermediate filament proteins are altered forms of keratin proteins, a major component of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. These mutations disrupt filament assembly or stability, leading to weakened cellular structures and various diseases such as epidermolysis bullosa simplex. Mutations can affect dimerization, post-translational modification sites (e.g., phosphorylation), and interactions with regulatory proteins, altering network dynamics and mechanosensitivity.
