Target Information

Gene Name
KRT8
Gene ID
UniProt No.
Gene Function
Together with KRT19, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
Post-translational Modifications
Phosphorylation on serine residues is enhanced during EGF stimulation and mitosis. Ser-74 phosphorylation plays an important role in keratin filament reorganization. O-glycosylated. O-GlcNAcylation at multiple sites increases solubility, and decreases stability by inducing proteasomal degradation. O-glycosylated (O-GlcNAcylated), in a cell cycle-dependent manner.
