Keratin 3

Keratin 3 also known as cytokeratin 3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT3 is_associated_with::gene. Keratin 3 is a is_associated_with::type II cytokeratin. It is specifically found in the is_associated_with::corneal epithelium together with is_associated_with::keratin 12.

Mutations in the KRT3 encoding this protein have been associated with is_associated_with::Meesmanns Corneal Dystrophy.
