In humans it is encoded by the KRT14 gene.

[6][7][8] Keratin 14 is usually found as a heterodimer with type II keratin 5 and form the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells.

Mutations in the genes for these keratins are associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex[9] and dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, both of which are autosomal dominant mutations.
