Keratin 5 is the major type II keratin of the basal cells of epidermis and of other stratified epithelia. With its type I partner, keratin 14, it constitutes a major fraction of the cytoskeleton of the basal cells. Because the inheritance of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, a disease of epidermal basal cell fragility, was mapped in one family to chromosome 12q close to D12S14, we undertook to localize the gene for keratin 5. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of somatic cell hybrids mapped the keratin 5 gene to chromosome 12, and multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization localized it to 12q very near D12S14. This sublocalization exemplifies the utility of in situ physical localization in assessing the candidacy of genes thought to underlie inherited disorders.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
