NCBI Summary for KERA
The protein encoded by this gene is a keratan sulfate proteoglycan that is involved in corneal transparency. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2).[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
UniProt Comments for KERA
KERA: May be important in developing and maintaining corneal transparency and for the structure of the stromal matrix. Defects in KERA are the cause of the autosomal recessive cornea plana 2 (CNA2). In CNA2, the forward convex curvature is flattened, leading to a decrease in refraction, reduced visual activity, extreme hyperopia (usually plus 10 d or more), hazy corneal limbus, opacities in the corneal parenchyma, and marked arcus senilis (often detected at an early age). CNA2 is a rare disorder with a worldwide distribution, but a high prevalence in the Finnish population. Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.
Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q22
Cellular Component: extracellular region; extracellular space; Golgi lumen; lysosomal lumen; proteinaceous extracellular matrix
Biological Process: axonogenesis; keratan sulfate biosynthetic process; keratan sulfate catabolic process
Disease: Cornea Plana 2
Research Articles on KERA
1. The mutation that we report here leads to the deletion of a conserved amino acid (p.Phe125del) from the third LRR motif of the keratocan protein, which might lead to an abnormal tertiary structure of the protein, thereby leading to the disease.
