Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** - KRT18P11 is a pseudogene, meaning it is not a functional gene that encodes a protein. - It is highly expressed in different cell types, suggesting that it plays a role in the development and maintenance of these cells. - The expression of KRT18P11 is particularly high in cells of the respiratory tract, suggesting that it may be involved in the development and maintenance of the respiratory system. **Pathways and functions:** - The exact function of KRT18P11 is unknown, but it is thought to play a role in the regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. - It is involved in the development and maintenance of the respiratory tract, including the lungs, airways, and nasal passages. - It is also involved in the development and maintenance of the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary tract, and the mammary gland. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in KRT18P11 have been linked to several human diseases, including lung cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. - In some cases, mutations in KRT18P11 can lead to the formation of tumors that are resistant to therapy. - Understanding the role of KRT18P11 in cancer development could lead to the development of new therapies for cancer.
