This gene encodes a protein that is expressed in the inner root sheath of hair follicles. The type II keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009] Expression Biased expression in skin (RPKM 2.3), lymph node (RPKM 0.7) and 5 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
