KRT83 KRT83 Keratin 83, also known as KRT83, is a protein which humans is encoded by the "KRT83" gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. As a type II hair keratin, it is a basic protein which heterodimerizes with type I keratins to form hair and nails. The type II hair keratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q13 and are grouped into two distinct subfamilies based on structure similarity. One subfamily, consisting of KRTHB1 (KRT81), KRTHB3 (KRT83, this protein), and KRTHB6 (KRT86), is highly related. The other less-related subfamily includes KRTHB2
Cleft lip and palate transmembrane protein 1 may belong to a new gene family. This family also contains the "Homo sapiens" cisplatin resistance related protein CRR9p which is associated with CDDP-induced apoptosis. Cleft lip and palate transmembrane protein 1 Cleft lip and palate transmembrane protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "CLPTM1" gene. It belongs to a family of several eukaryotic cleft lip and palate transmembrane protein 1 sequences. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is a common birth defect that is genetically complex. The nonsyndromic forms have been studied genetically using linkage and candidate-gene association studies with only partial success
