| target relevance |
|---|
| Homo sapiens KRT18 Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 18 |
| Protein names Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 18 |
| Alternative names Cell proliferation-inducing gene 46 protein, Cytokeratin-18, Keratin-18 |
| Gene names KRT18 |
| Protein family Belongs to the intermediate filament family |
| Function Required for the formation of KRT8/KRT18 filaments that are involved in ARHGEF40-mediated actin stress fiber formation and tensional force-induced stress fiber formation and reinforcement (PubMed:26823019). Also acts downstream of ROCK kinase activation as part of a positive feedback mechanism in response to cellular mechanical stress loading (PubMed:26823019). Organization and orientation of KRT18 filaments are responsible for the properly elongated morphology of epithelial tubules (By similarity). Involved in the uptake of thrombin-antithrombin complexes by hepatic cells (By similarity). When phosphorylated, plays a role in filament reorganization. Involved in the delivery of mutated CFTR to the plasma membrane. Together with KRT8, is involved in interleukin-6 (IL-6)-mediated barrier protection |
| Subcellular location Nucleus matrix, Cytoplasm, perinuclear region, Nucleus, nucleolus, Cytoplasm |
| Structure (Microbial infection) Interacts with hepatitis C virus/HCV core protein |
| Post-translational modification Phosphorylation at Ser-34 increases during mitosis. Hyperphosphorylated at Ser-53 in diseased cirrhosis liver. Phosphorylation increases by IL-6 Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during epithelial cell apoptosis. Cleavage occurs at Asp-238 by either caspase-3, caspase-6 or caspase-7 O-GlcNAcylation increases solubility, and decreases stability by inducing proteasomal degradation |
| Involvement in disease Cirrhosis A liver disease characterized by severe panlobular liver-cell swelling with Mallory body formation, prominent pericellular fibrosis, and marked deposits of copper. Clinical features include abdomen swelling, jaundice and pulmonary hypertension. |
