Function

KRT 4 gene is going to provide enough information to create the protein Keratin 4. Keratins are the main groups for tough fibrous proteins that will form the framework of epithelial cells. Epithelial cells line up the surfaces and cavities intended for the body. Keratin 4 is usually found within the moist lining of your mouth, nose, esophagus, anus, and gentitals.

Disease

The disease that Keratin 4 causes is white sponge nenus. White sponge nevus is an autosomal dominant disease which is caused by amutation of a certain keratin genes. White sponge nevus is going to be a main componenet for a group of inherited diseases that are going to provide a white bilateral, keratinized apperance typically appearing on the buccal mucosa.
