Comparative sequence analysis and radiation hybrid mapping of the canine keratin 10 gene.

The type I keratin, K10, is expressed in epidermal keratinocytes undergoing terminal differentiation to form the stratum corneum, a barrier essential for life. In order to facilitate the study of keratinization disorders in the dog, the sequence and mapping of KRT10 is reported. The coding region of KRT10 is 1707 bp and is comprised of eight exons. Although the length of KRT10 has been reported to be polymorphic in humans, this was not observed in the eight domestic dog breeds studied, although one wild canid displayed a size difference. The structure and sequence of this gene is highly conserved across mammalian species. Canine K10 had an 86% amino acid identity with the human gene. KRT10 was localized to the on-going canine radiation hybrid map to chromosome 9 in the type I keratin gene cluster.[1]
