Complete Sequence of a Hair-Like Intermediate Filament Type II Keratin Gene

    January 1993 in “ DNA sequence ”
    Barry C. Powell, Lesley Crocker, George E. Rogers
    Studysummary This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.
