Cytoskeletal keratin glycosylation protects from epithelial tissue injury

Keratins 8 and 18 (K8/K18) are heteropolymeric intermediate filament phospho-glycoproteins of simple-type epithelia. K8/K18 protect hepatocytes from apoptosis and their mutations predispose to liver disease. K18 undergoes dynamic O-linked N-acetylglucosamine glycosylation at Ser30/31/49, the functio...
