• Background: Cytokeratin 1 is a type II Cytokeratin. 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 spinous and granular layers of the epidermis with family member KRT10 and mutations in these genes have been associated with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma.
• Synonyms: Keratin-1, KRT1, K1, Cytokeratin 1, Hair alpha protein, 67 kDA cytokeratin, KRTA
