ABSTRACT:
The invention provides human keratins (KERT) and polynucleotides which identify and encode KERT. The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for diagnosing, treating or preventing disorders associated with expression of KERT.
