Summary: 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. All hair keratins are expressed in the hair follicle; this hair keratin, as well as KRTHB1 and KRTHB6, is found primarily in the hair cortex. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Our findings indicate that at least some cases of autosomal recessive Progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma (PSEK)and autosomal dominant monilethrix are allelic, respectively resulting from loss-of-function and missense mutations in the KRT83 gene
Title: Recessive progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma results from a homozygous loss-of-function mutation of KRT83 and is allelic with dominant monilethrix.
Novel mutations causing monilethrix are reported in KRT81, KRT83, and KRT86.
Title: Novel KRT83 and KRT86 mutations associated with monilethrix.
A heterozygous missense mutation in hHb3 causing the substitution of a glutamic acid by a lysine at position 407 in the helix termination motif defines this particular residue as a trichocyte keratin mutational hotspot associated with monilethrix.
Title: A missense mutation in the type II hair keratin hHb3 is associated with monilethrix.
The KRTHB3 expression uniformly occurred in the midcortex region.
Title: Keratins of the human hair follicle.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
