Structural heterogeneity of cellular K5/K14 filaments as revealed by cryo-electron microscopy
Keratin intermediate filaments are an essential and major component of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. They form a stable yet dynamic filamentous network extending from the nucleus to the cell periphery, which provides resistance to mechanical ...

Investigation of Morphology and Photocatalytic Activities of Electrospun Chicken Feather Keratin/PLA/TiO2/Clay Nanofibers [PDF]
This research has focused on the fabrication of electro spun-keratin base composite nanofiber, in order to develop the organic dye removal filters. The filters were prepared from a keratin-base material, which was extracted from chicken feathers.

Sedimentation Studies of Epidermal Keratins. Keratin A and Keratin B [PDF]
Electrophoretically homogeneous keratin A and keratin B were studied in the ultracentrifuge. Both preparations revealed two fractions: one which sedimented rapidly and another which sedimented slowly. This indicated that both preparations are heterogeneous with respect to particle size.

Human hair keratins were among the first to be studied but it is only recently that sufficient information has been obtained to gain a basic biologic perspective of these proteins. Hair keratins are members of the intermediate filament family of proteins, yet are sufficiently divergent from epidermal keratins to warrant separate classification: type Ia

The cortical actin cytoskeleton and desmosomes act together in keratin filament network maintenance
Keratin intermediate filaments are hallmark features of epithelial tissue differentiation forming complex cytoplasmic networks that are connected to subplasmalemmal cortical keratin filaments and anchored at desmosomal junctions.

Selective laser sintering responses of keratin-based bio-polymer composites
Keratin-based materials have unique biological and mechanical attributes due to the protein's molecular structure and organisation. The current study evaluates the possible consolidation of keratin powders by selective laser sintering (SLS), a key ...
