Keratin 13 is a more specific marker of conjunctival epithelium than keratin 19.
To evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (K) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether K13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium.Total RNA was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea.

The New Keratin Nomenclature [PDF]
When the first nomenclature of the keratin protein family was published over 20 years ago, only 19 keratins were thought to exist. Sequencing of the human genome has now revealed that there are 54 keratin genes.

An ex vivo comparison of the tensile strengthening properties of protein derivatives on damaged hair [PDF]
Conventional conditioning agents, cationic surfactants and polymers, are often limited in their ability to repair and strengthen the hair fibre, while protein-derived actives have been found to enhance the tensile strength of damaged hair.
