    GlossaryKeratin 14

    protein in skin's basal layer providing structural support

    Keratin 14 (KRT14) is a type of protein found in the skin, specifically in the basal layer of the epidermis. It plays a crucial role in providing structural support and resilience to skin cells. Mutations in the KRT14 gene can lead to skin disorders such as epidermolysis bullosa simplex, which causes the skin to be fragile and blister easily.
