SUM

 [1] Twenty coding genes were identified for a peptide family with the common name keratins (cytokeratins). These peptides participate in the formation of intermediate filaments in many cells.
[2] Two keratin subfamilies are distinguished, I, slightly acidic (Acidic or alpha), and II, neutral or slightly alkaline (Basic or beta). Group I comprises keratins 9-19 and group II, keratins 1-8.
[3] Vagueness remains concerning the localization of KRT14L(1,2,3) and KRT16L(1,2), as well as the identification of their processed and unprocessed pseudogenes."
