Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 14 also known as cytokeratin-14 (CK-14) or keratin-14 (K14) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT14 gene.[1][2][3]

Keratin 14 is a type I keratin. It is usually found as a heterotetramer with two keratin 5 molecules, a type II keratin. Together they form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells.

Pathology

Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex and Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, both of which are autosomal dominant mutations.[4]
