Also known as CK3K3
Summary
KRT3 (keratin 3, HGNC:6440) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.13, encoding Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 3 (P12035).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the corneal epithelium with family member KRT12 and mutations in these genes have been associated with Meesmann’s Corneal Dystrophy. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.

- A novel missense mutation (R503P) in KRT3 leads to MCD in 2 unrelated Taiwanese families. (PMID:16227835)
- Location of the E498V mutation emphasizes the functional relevance of the highly conserved boundary motifs at the COOH-terminus of the alpha-helical rod domain in keratin 3 (K3). (PMID:18806880)
- Exon sequencing of KRT3 and KRT12 in six affected and eight unaffected individuals did not detect any mutations or nucleotide sequence variants in Meesmann epithelial corneal dystrophy. (PMID:23569037)
- we show that the two PAX6 isoforms differentially and cooperatively regulate the expression of genes specific to the structure and functions of the corneal epithelium, particularly keratin 3 (KRT3) and keratin 12 (KRT12). PAX6 isoform-a induced KRT3 expression by targeting its upstream region. KLF4 enhanced this induction. A combination of PAX6 isoform-b, KLF4, and OCT4 induced KRT12 expression (PMID:26899008)
- RT-PCR showed that K3 and K12 transcripts were absent from patient cells, but present in healthy control preparations. (PMID:29162348)

Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins. Keratin-3 associates with keratin-12.
Tissue specificity. Cornea specific.
Disease relevance. Corneal dystrophy, Meesmann 2 (MECD2) [MIM:618767] A form of Meesmann corneal dystrophy, a corneal disease characterized by fragility of the anterior corneal epithelium. Histological examination shows a disorganized and thickened epithelium with widespread cytoplasmic vacuolation and numerous small, round, debris-laden intraepithelial cysts. Patients are usually asymptomatic until adulthood when rupture of the corneal microcysts may cause erosions, producing clinical symptoms such as photophobia, contact lens intolerance and intermittent diminution of visual acuity. Rarely, subepithelial scarring causes irregular corneal astigmatism and permanent visual impairment. MECD2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. There are two types of cytoskeletal and microfibrillar keratin: I (acidic; 40-55 kDa) and II (neutral to basic; 56-70 kDa).
Similarity. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
