Summary
KRT81 (keratin 81, HGNC:6458) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.13, encoding Keratin, type II cuticular Hb1 (Q14533).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type II hair keratin, it is a basic protein which heterodimerizes with type I keratins to form hair and nails. The type II hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13 and are grouped into two distinct subfamilies based on structure similarity. One subfamily, consisting of KRTHB1, KRTHB3, and KRTHB6, is highly related. The other less-related subfamily includes KRTHB2, KRTHB4, and KRTHB5. All hair keratins are expressed in the hair follicle; this hair keratin, as well as KRTHB3 and KRTHB6, is found primarily in the hair cortex. Mutations in this gene and KRTHB6 have been observed in patients with a rare dominant hair disease, monilethrix. Some human genome assemblies (example T2T-CHM13) have a non-coding version of the gene due to the presence of a SNP that introduces a premature stop codon after codon 281.

Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins.
Tissue specificity. Abundantly expressed in the differentiating cortex of growing (anagen) hair. Expression is restricted to the keratinocytes of the hair cortex and is absent from inner root sheath and medulla. Expressed in malignant lymph node tissue in breast carcinoma tissue.
Disease relevance. Monilethrix 2 (MNLIX2) [MIM:621169] A form of monilethrix, a disorder of the hair shaft characterized by brittle hair, follicular papules, and varying degrees of alopecia. Affected hairs have uniform elliptical nodes of normal thickness and intermittent constrictions, internodes at which the hair easily breaks. Usually only the scalp is involved, but in severe forms, the secondary sexual hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and nails may also be affected. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. There are two types of hair/microfibrillar keratin, I (acidic) and II (neutral to basic).
Similarity. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
