research Keratin 17 Impacts Global Gene Expression and Controls G2/M Cell Cycle Transition in Ionizing Radiation–Induced Skin Damage
In this study, researchers found that K17−/− mice suffered more severe hair follicle damage but showed reduced epidermal inflammation after ionizing radiation, with K17's absence leading to aberrant cell cycle progression due to altered p53 genome binding and reduced B-Myb degradation.
