Lessons from Keratin 18 Knockout Mice: Formation of Novel Keratin Filaments, Secondary Loss of Keratin 7 and Accumulation of Liver-specific Keratin 8-Positive Aggregates
Here, we report on the analysis of keratin 18 null mice. Unlike the ablation of K8, which together with K18 is expressed in embryonic and simple adult epithelia, K18 null mice are viable, fertile, and show a normal lifespan. In young K18 null mice, hepatocytes were completely devoid of keratin filam...
