Comprehensive analysis of keratin gene clusters in humans and rodents.

European journal of cell biology - 1 Feb 2004

Hesse Michael, Zimek Alexander, Weber Klaus, Magin Thomas M

Abstract excerpt

Here, we present the comparative analysis of the two keratin (K) gene clusters in the genomes of man, mouse and rat. Overall, there is a remarkable but not perfect synteny among the clusters of the three mammalian species. The human type I keratin gene cluster consists of 27 genes and 4 pseudogenes, all in the same orientation. It is interrupted by a domain of multiple genes encoding keratin-associated proteins...
