Keratin 16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT16 gene. [5] [6] [7]
Keratin 16 is a type I cytokeratin. It is paired with keratin 6 in a number of epithelial tissues, including nail bed, esophagus, tongue, and hair follicles. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein are associated with the genetic skin disorders including pachyonychia congenita, non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma and unilateral palmoplantar verrucous nevus.

Keratin 1 is a member of the keratin family. It is specifically expressed in the spinous and granular layers of the epidermis with family member keratin 10. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the variants of bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma in which the palms and soles of the feet are affected.
Keratin 6A is one of the 27 different type II keratins expressed in humans. Keratin 6A was the first type II keratin sequence determined. Analysis of the sequence of this keratin together with that of the first type I keratin led to the discovery of the four helical domains in the central rod of keratins. In humans Keratin 6A is encoded by the KRT6A gene.
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 4 also known as cytokeratin-4 (CK-4) or keratin-4 (K4) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT4 gene.
Keratin 2A also known as keratin 2E or keratin 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT2A gene.
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 10 also known as cytokeratin-10 (CK-10) or keratin-10 (K10) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT10 gene. Keratin 10 is a type I keratin.
Keratin 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT9 gene.
Keratin 18 is a type I cytokeratin. It is, together with its filament partner keratin 8, perhaps the most commonly found products of the intermediate filament gene family. They are expressed in single layer epithelial tissues of the body. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT17 gene.
Keratin 15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT15 gene.
Pachyonychia congenita is a rare group of autosomal dominant skin disorders that are caused by a mutation in one of five different keratin genes. Pachyonychia congenita is often associated with thickened toenails, plantar keratoderma, and plantar pain.
Keratin 6C, is a type II cytokeratin, one of a number of isoforms of keratin 6 encoded by separate genes located within the type II keratin gene cluster on human chromosome 12q. This gene was uncovered recently by the Human Genome Project and its expression patterns in humans remains unknown.
Loricrin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LOR gene.
Keratin, type II cuticular Hb1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT81 gene.
Keratin, type II cuticular Hb6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT86 gene.
Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 78 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT78 gene.
Keratin, type I cuticular Ha2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT32 gene.
Keratin, type I cuticular Ha3-I is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT33A gene.
Keratin, type II cuticular Hb5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT85 gene.
Keratin, type I cuticular Ha6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT36 gene.
Keratin 83, also known as KRT83, is a protein which humans is encoded by the KRT83 gene.
