Proteins/UNIPROT:P13645
Structural component of intermediate filaments in suprabasal keratinocytes of stratified epithelia. Forms heteropolymers primarily with the type II keratin KRT1, and also with KRT2, assembling into intermediate filament networks that support terminal differentiation, mechanical resilience, and epidermal barrier formation..
(Microbial infection) Acts as a mediator of S.aureus adherence to desquamated nasal epithelial cells via clfB, and hence may play a role in nasal colonization..
(Microbial infection) Binds S.pneumoniae PsrP, mediating adherence of the bacteria to lung cell lines. Reduction of levels of KRT10 keratin decrease adherence, overexpression increases adherence. Neither protein has to be glycosylated for the interaction to occur..
