Cytokeratin 17 often called K17 or keratin 17 is a type I intermediate filament protein with a molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa. It forms part of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells and is notably present in the basal cells of epithelial tissues including the skin hair follicles and the lining of internal organs. Due to its specific expression pattern K17 serves as a useful biomarker in various research and clinical settings.
Biological function summary
The roles of K17 extend beyond mere structural support. This protein contributes to cellular processes such as proliferation tissue repair and the regulation of immune responses. K17 often forms a complex with its partner keratin 6 enabling structural stability and resilience in epithelial cells. Its presence influences the behavior of the cells in skin and other epithelial-lined organs.
Pathways
K17 participates in key pathways related to skin biology and inflammation notably the Wnt/β-catenin and NF-κB signaling pathways. These pathways connect K17 to cellular processes like growth differentiation and inflammation. In particular keratin 6 is another important protein in these cascades closely interacting with K17 in maintenance and repair processes within epithelial tissues.
K17 has been implicated in psoriasis and certain types of cancer such as cervical and breast cancer. In psoriasis an inflammatory skin condition K17 interacts with pro-inflammatory cytokines contributing to the hyperproliferative state of the skin. Its overexpression serves as a marker in diagnosing and understanding the severity of these disorders highlighting its relationship with keratin 6 which is similarly upregulated in psoriatic lesions and certain tumors. These associations make K17 a significant focus for therapeutic targeting and diagnostic applications.
