Biological function summary
CK18 maintains cellular integrity and mediates resistance to mechanical and non-mechanical stresses in epithelial cells. It forms heterodimers with KRT8 participating in a complex network of filaments important for maintaining cell shape and stability. This organization plays a role in managing cell survival during stress and apoptosis helping regulate cellular functions and responses in tissues where it is expressed.
Pathways
Cytokeratin 18 is involved in the apoptosis and cellular stress response pathways. It interacts with proteins such as caspases during apoptosis facilitating cytoskeletal reorganization and cell fragmentation. CK18 in coordination with KRT8 also participates in signaling pathways that regulate cell cycle and apoptotic processes underlining its importance in cellular turnover and tissue homeostasis.
