A Ca2+-Mediated Switch of Epiplakin from a Diffuse to Keratin-Bound State Affects Keratin Dynamics
Cells, 2022 Keratins exert important structural but also cytoprotective functions. They have to be adaptable to support cellular homeostasis. Epiplakin (EPPK1) has been shown to decorate keratin filaments in epithelial cells and to play a protective role under ...

Acral lamellar ichthyosis with amino acid substitution in the C‐terminus of keratin 2
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2022 AbstractBackgroundMost cases of hereditary ichthyoses present with generalized scaling and skin dryness. However, in some cases skin involvement is restricted to particular body regions as in acral lamellar ichthyosis.ObjectivesWe report on the genetic basis of acral ichthyosis in two families presenting with a similar phenotype.MethodsGenetic testing ...

Desmoplakin Maintains Transcellular Keratin Scaffolding and Protects From Intestinal InjurySummary
Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2022 Background & Aims: Desmosomes are intercellular junctions connecting keratin intermediate filaments of neighboring cells. The cadherins desmoglein 2 (Dsg2) and desmocollin 2 mediate cell–cell adhesion, whereas desmoplakin (Dsp) provides the ...

Development of a keratinase activity assay using recombinant chicken feather keratin substrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Poultry feathers consist mainly of the protein keratin, which is rich in β-pleated sheets and consequently resistant to proteolysis. Although many keratinases have been identified, the reasons for their substrate specificity towards β-keratin remain ...
