KRT10, or Keratin 10, is a type of protein that is part of the keratin family. It is primarily found in the skin, particularly in the outer layer known as the epidermis. KRT10 plays a crucial role in providing structural support and strength to skin cells, helping to protect the body from environmental damage. Mutations in the KRT10 gene can lead to skin disorders, such as epidermolytic keratolysis, which is characterized by blistering and peeling of the skin. Understanding KRT10 is important for researchers studying skin health and developing treatments for related conditions.
