THE STRUCTURE OF ALPHA KERATIN [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1957 Known structural principles (close packing, maximum hydrogen bonding, the tendency of like groups to be surrounded in like manner, and the approximate constancy of interatomic distances and bond angles) are used, with meridional and equatorial x-ray data, to deduce and check the structure pattern for alpha-keratin.

The Study on Biological Function of Keratin 26, a Novel Member of Liaoning Cashmere Goat Keratin Gene Family. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In our research, we explored the relationship between Keratin 26 and the regulation of fine hair, BMP signaling pathway, MT, FGF5, and IGF-I. The result of hybridization in situ revealed that Keratin 26 was specially expressed in cortex of skin hair ...

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 ...

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 ...
