KRT71 is a keratin gene. Keratins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the structural integrity of epithelial cells and are subdivided into epithelial keratins and hair keratins.[5][6] This gene encodes a protein that is expressed in the inner root sheath of hair follicles.[6] The type II keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13.[6][7]
