Anatomical context of KRT12

  • Real-time PCR analysis showed that the transcription level of K3 and K12 in cultured cells was lower than in freshly isolated limbal cells or cells from central cornea (P <0.01) [17].
  • Epithelial cell outgrowth on iAM expressed more p63 but less K3 and K12 than did that on dAM [18].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The resultant epithelial phenotype of the pannus tissue was not corneal, as evidenced by the negative staining to cornea-specific K12 mRNA and protein, but was conjunctival, as evidenced by the presence of goblet cells, the weak expression of K3, and the strong expression of K19 [19].
  • Here, we report that the deletion of K5, which in wild-type mice forms a cytoskeleton with K12, does neither cause keratin aggregation nor cytolysis in the cornea [20].
  • Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that K3, but not K12, was expressed in the transplanted cultivated oral mucosal epithelium that was similar to oral mucosal tissue [21].
 

Associations of KRT12 with chemical compounds

  • Another novel heterozygous missense mutation (1286A-->G), predicting the substitution of a cysteine for a tyrosine at codon 429 (Y429C) was detected in the helix termination motif of the keratin 12 polypeptide in family 2 [15].
  • A novel arginine substitution mutation in 1A domain and a novel 27 bp insertion mutation in 2B domain of keratin 12 gene associated with Meesmann's corneal dystrophy [22].
  • RESULTS: Sequencing of the K12 gene in an affected individual from the family revealed a novel heterozygous missense mutation (413A-->C), predicting the substitution of a proline for a glutamine at codon 130 (Q130P) in the HIM of the K12 protein [23].
  • After coculture, these cells expressed K3/K12 (a marker of corneal epithelial cells), K15 and beta1 integrin, but no K1/K10 [24].
  • The data also provide the thermodynamic driving force for a 1,2-hydrogen shift at a singlet carbene: K12 = 5 x 10(16) for rearrangement of the parent imidazol-2-yl carbene to give neutral imidazole in water at 298 K, which corresponds to a favorable Gibbs free energy change of 23 kcal/mol [25].
