Cytokeratin, HMW Proteins and Enzymes

KRT76, also known as Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 2 oral, is a 638 amino acid that is approx. 66 kDa, belongs to the intermediate filament family responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells, subdivided into epithelial keratins and hair keratins, and probably contributes to terminal cornification. Studies are being performed in relation to this protein and obstructive jaundice, pharyngitis, jaundice, cervical cancer, neuronitis, colorectal cancer, cervicitis, interferon and hepatitis. This protein has been shown to have interactions with ATG13, PDPK1, ULK2, GABARAP, and PRKAA1 in cytoskeleton organization pathways.
