Function KRT 4 gene is going to provide enough information to create the protein Keratin 4. Keratins are the main groups for tough fibrous proteins that will form the framework of epithelial cells. Epithelial cells line up the surfaces and cavities intended for the body. Keratin 4 is usually found within the moist lining of your mouth, nose, esophagus, anus, and gentitals. Disease The disease that Keratin 4 causes is white sponge nevus. White sponge nevus is an autosomal dominant disease which is caused by amutation of a certain keratin genes. White sponge nevus is going to be a main componenet for a group of inherited diseases that are going to provide a white bilateral, keratinized apperance typically appearing on the buccal mucosa. White sponge nevus lesions on the inside of the lips. Relevance The two way parallel beta-sheet is where the C-terminal strand of one monomer is being positioned and anti-parallel to the N-terminal strand of the main adjacent monomer and this arrangement is not seen so far in any of the homologous structures. This is the Keratin 4 protein. Structural highlights This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes. The main residues as you can see from the structure will constistute as a non-repeat ligand binding region. This is the Beta Sheet residues zoomed in. This is the Beta Sheet residues zoomed out
