Protein function (UniProt)

Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 10

Structural component of intermediate filaments in suprabasal keratinocytes of stratified epithelia. Forms heteropolymers primarily with the type II keratin KRT1, and also with KRT2, assembling into intermediate filament networks that support terminal differentiation, mechanical resilience, and epidermal barrier formation
