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.

THE SPECIFICITY OF KERATINS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1939 Kerateine and metakeratin were prepared from wool, chicken feathers and human hair. Chemical analyses revealed that the compounds are closely related. The results of serological studies disclose that species specificity is an individual characteristic of the keratins employed and that the specificity observed is dependent on the redox ...

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 ...
