Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type II hair keratin, it is a basic protein which heterodimerizes with type I keratins to form hair and nails. The type II hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13 and are grouped into two distinct subfamilies based on structure similarity. One subfamily, consisting of KRTHB1, KRTHB3, and KRTHB6, is highly related. The other less-related subfamily includes KRTHB2, KRTHB4, and KRTHB5. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
caution:Maps to a duplicated region on chromosome 12.,disease:Defects in KRT85 are the cause of ectodermal dysplasia pure hair-nail type (EDPHN) [MIM:602032]. Ectodermal dysplasia defines a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. EDPHN is characterized by complete alopecia, hypotricosis and nail dystrophy in all digits. There is no evidence of any other abnormality. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive.,miscellaneous:There are two types of hair/microfibrillar keratin, I (acidic) and II (neutral to basic).,similarity:Belongs to the intermediate filament family.,subunit:Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins.,tissue specificity:Synthesis occurs immediately above a small population of matrix cells at the base of the hair bulb and the trichocytes lining the dermal papilla and extends upward through the ma
