Keratin 14 was the first type I keratin sequence determined. [5] Keratin 14 is also known as cytokeratin-14 (CK-14) or keratin-14 (KRT14). In humans it is encoded by the KRT14 gene. [6] [7] [8] Keratin 14 is usually found as a heterodimer with type II keratin 5 and form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells.

The term cytokeratin began to be used in the late 1970s, when the protein subunits of keratin intermediate filaments inside cells were first being identified and characterized. [2] In 2006 a new systematic nomenclature for mammalian keratins was created, and the proteins previously called cytokeratins are simply called keratins (human ...
NFJS is caused by mutations in the keratin 14 (KRT14) gene, located on chromosome 17q12-21. [3] [5] The disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, which means that the defective gene responsible for a disorder is located on an autosome (chromosome 17 is an autosome), and only one copy of the defective gene is sufficient to cause the disorder, when inherited from a parent who has ...
The Kasukawa criteria require a minimum of one of the common symptoms, a positive anti-RNP antibody, as well as one or more symptoms of the mixed symptoms in at least two of the three disease categories to qualify for a diagnosis of MCTD. [69] It has a sensitivity of 75% [70] and a specificity of 99.8%. [32] Common symptoms: [69] Raynaud's ...
34βE12, often written as 34betaE12 and also known as CK34βE12 and keratin 903 (CK903), is an antibody specific for high molecular weight cytokeratins 1, 5, 10 and 14. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is sometimes, less precisely, referred to as high-molecular weight keratin ( HMWK ) and high-molecular weight cytokeratin ( HMWCK ).
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a disorder resulting from mutations in the genes encoding keratin 5 or keratin 14. [ 1 ] : 598 [ 2 ] It is one of the major forms of epidermolysis bullosa , a group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to be very fragile and to blister easily.
