Keratin 75 (KRT75)
KRT75 is a member of the type II keratin family clustered on the long arm of chromosome 12. This gene is expressed in the companion layer, upper germinative matrix region of the hair follicle, and medulla of the hair shaft. The protein plays an essential role in hair and nail formation. Variations in this gene have been associated with the hair disorders pseudofolliculitis barbae and loose anagen hair syndrome. Highly expressed in hair follicles from scalp. Specifically expressed in the of the hair companion layer follicle, a single layered band of flat and vertically oriented cells between the cuboidal outer root sheath (ORS) cells and the inner root sheath (IRS) that stretches from the lowermost bulb region to the isthmus of the follicle.
