Efficacy Coefficients Determined Using Nail Permeability and Antifungal Activity in Keratin-Containing Media Are Useful for Predicting Clinical Efficacies of Topical Drugs for Onychomycosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Onychomycosis is difficult to treat topically due to the deep location of the infection under the densely keratinized nail plate. In order to obtain an in vitro index that is relevant to the clinical efficacy of topical anti-onychomycosis drugs, we ...

KRT6A Promotes EMT and Cancer Stem Cell Transformation in Lung Adenocarcinoma
Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2020 Aim: Keratin 6A is a type II cytokeratin which is important in forming nail bed, filiform papillae, the epithelial lining of oral mucosa, and esophagus; recently, keratin 6A was found hyperexpressed in different types of cancer.

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 ...

Enhancing Physical Properties of Viscose by Preparing Viscose/Keratin/Nano ZnO Composite Fabric
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 The emulsion of Keratin nano ZnO was prepared by extracting the keratin from wool. Cellulose viscose fabric was treated by plasma and immersed in solution and by special chemical method the fabric was finished with keratin/ZnO.

, 2016 Keratins comprise the type I and type II intermediate filament-forming proteins and occur primarily in epithelial cells. They are encoded by 54 evolutionarily conserved genes (28 type I, 26 type II) and regulated in a pairwise and tissue type-, differentiation-, and context-dependent manner.

Mutations in Homocysteine Metabolism Genes Increase Keratin N-Homocysteinylation and Damage in Mice
International Journal of Genomics, 2018 Genetic or nutritional deficiencies in homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism increase Hcy-thiolactone, which causes protein damage by forming isopetide bonds with lysine residues, generating N-Hcy-protein.

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 ...
