Background
function:May act as a 'capping' or 'branching' protein for keratin filaments in the cell periphery. May regulate K8/K18 filament and desmosome organization mainly at the apical or peripheral regions of simple epithelial cells.,similarity:Belongs to the TCHP family.,subunit:Interacts specifically with keratin proteins including, KRT5, KRT6A, KRT8, KRT14, KRT16 and KRT18.,

Tissue expression
Expressed at high levels in normal urothelial and breast epithelial cells. Also expressed in the smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Reduced expression seen in advanced bladder and breast carcinomas (at protein level). Ubiquitous. Expressed at highest levels in the heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and testis.
