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.

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.

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.

Structural heterogeneity of cellular K5/K14 filaments as revealed by cryo-electron microscopy
eLife, 2021 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 ...

Sedimentation Studies of Epidermal Keratins. Keratin A and Keratin B [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1956 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.

Types I and II Keratin Intermediate Filaments.
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018 Keratins-types I and II-are the intermediate-filament-forming proteins expressed 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 ...
