功能: caution:Maps to a duplicated region on chromosome 12.,disease:Defects in KRT86 are a cause of Monilethrix [MIM:158000]. Monilethrix is an autosomal dominant hair disorder characterized clinically by alopecia and follicular papules. Affected hairs have uniform elliptical nodes of normal thickness and intermittent constrictions, internodes at which the hair easily breaks. Usually only the scalp is involved, but in severe forms, the secondary sexual hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and nails may also be affected.,miscellaneous:There are two types of hair/microfibrillar keratin, I (acidic) and II (neutral to basic).,similarity:Belongs to the intermediate filament family.,subunit:Heterotetramer of two type I and two type II keratins.,tissue specificity:Synthesis begins slightly higher in the hair shaft than HB1 and HB3 and continues much farther up, ending in the keratogeneous zone.,
