KRT17 Human Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single,non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 455 amino acids (1-432 a.a) andhaving a molecular mass of 50.5kDa. KRT17 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Cytokeratin17 also known as KRT17 is a type I cytokeratin. KRT17 is found in nail beds,hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and other epidermal appendages. Mutations inKRT17 lead to Jackson-Lawler type pachyonychia congenita and steatocystomamultiplex. KRT17 takes part in the formation and maintenance of a variety ofskin appendages, particularly in determining shape and orientation of hair. KRT17also modulates the function of TNF-alpha in the precise context of haircycling. Moreover, KRT17 regulates protein synthesis and epithelial cell growthall through binding to the adapter protein SFN and by stimulating Akt/mTORpathway.
