Developmental stage
Expressed throughout embryonic development with highest levels at 8.5 dpc. Expression decreases by 11.5 dpc and increases again by 17.5 dpc.
Domain
This keratin differs from all other IF proteins in lacking the C-terminal tail domain.
Function
Involved in the organization of myofibers. Together with KRT8, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle (By similarity).
