Glossary Keratin 10

protein crucial for skin's structural integrity and resilience

Keratin 10 (KRT10) is a type of protein found in the upper layers of the skin, specifically in the epidermis. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and resilience of the skin by forming a network of intermediate filaments that provide mechanical support. Mutations in the KRT10 gene can lead to skin disorders such as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, which is characterized by blistering and thickening of the skin.
