Gene Information

human ... KRT20(54474)

General description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin family. The keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into cytokeratins and hair keratins. The type I cytokeratins consist of acidic proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains. This cytokeratin is a major cellular protein of mature enterocytes and goblet cells and is specifically expressed in the gastric and intestinal mucosa. The type I cytokeratin genes are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

KRT20 (keratin 20) helps in intermediate filament organization. In metastatic colorectal cancer, it can be used as a biomarker for checking circulating tumor cells.

The aim of this study was to quantify and characterize the mechanism of non-neuronal ACh release from bladder urothelial cells and to determine if urothelial cells could be a site of action of anti-muscarinic drugs. A novel technique was developed

Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) is a well-established marker for colon epithelium. Herein, we suggest that CK20 is a biomarker for detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Blood specimens (7.5 mL) were collected during surgery after liver mobilization

Keratin polypeptide 20 (K20) is an intermediate filament protein with preferential expression in epithelia of the stomach, intestine, uterus, and bladder and in Merkel cells of the skin. K20 expression is used as a marker to distinguish metastatic tumor origin

Of the >20 epithelial keratins, keratin 20 (K20) has an unusual distribution and is poorly studied. We began to address K20 function, by expressing human wild-type and Arg80-->His (R80H) genomic (18 kb) and cDNA K20 in cells and mice. Arg80
