Function

Structural component of intermediate filaments in simple epithelial cells. Together with its obligate type I partner KRT18, contributes to the formation of the keratin intermediate filament network that provides mechanical stability and resilience to epithelial cells (PubMed:1691189). Also involved in maintaining epithelial integrity and protecting cells from non-mechanical stress, such as apoptosis (By similarity). Also required for ARHGEF40-mediated actin stress fiber formation and tensional force-induced stress fiber formation and reinforcement (By similarity). In striated muscle, together with KRT19, may contribute to linking the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres (PubMed:15247274)
