Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRT17 gene.[5][6][7][8]
Keratin 17 is a type I cytokeratin. It is found in nail beds, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and other epidermal appendages. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein lead to PC-K17 (previously known as Jackson-Lawler) type pachyonychia congenita and steatocystoma multiplex.[8]
