This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This study showed that a 2-kilobase upstream region of the mouse keratin 17 gene enables targeted GFP expression in major epithelial appendages of transgenic mice, indicating sonic hedgehog's involvement in its regulation.

This review discusses the mechanisms of keratin 17 regulation in diseases such as psoriasis and cancers but presents no new experimental findings, calling for further exploration of anti-K17 therapies.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.
