ID: K2C7_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 7; AltName: Full=Cytokeratin-7; Short=CK-7; AltName: Full=Keratin-7; Short=K7; AltName: Full=Sarcolectin; AltName: Full=Type-II keratin Kb7;
FUNCTION: Blocks interferon-dependent interphase and stimulates DNA synthesis in cells. Involved in the translational regulation of the human papillomavirus type 16 E7 mRNA (HPV16 E7).SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins. Interacts with eukaryotic translation initiator factor 3 (eIF3) subunit EIF3S10 and with HPV16 E7.INTERACTION: Q14152:EIF3A; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-297833, EBI-366617;SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm.TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in cultured epidermal, bronchial and mesothelial cells but absent in colon, ectocervix and liver. Observed throughout the glandular cells in the junction between stomach and esophagus but is absent in the esophagus.INDUCTION: Up-regulated by retinoic acid.PTM: Arg-20 is dimethylated, probably to asymmetric dimethylarginine.MASS SPECTROMETRY: Mass=51203.48; Method=MALDI; Range=2-469; Source=PubMed:11840567;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.SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAA26956.2; Type=Erroneous translation; Note=Wrong choice of CDS;

mRNA Secondary Structure of 3' and 5' UTRs
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on P08729
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
