Human hair keratins

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1993
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

European Journal of Cell Biology
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

Materials & Design, 2019
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 ...

Investigation of Morphology and Photocatalytic Activities of Electrospun Chicken Feather Keratin/PLA/TiO2/Clay Nanofibers [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
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.

Bioprospecting keratinous materials

International Journal of Trichology, 2010
The concept of bioprospecting for bioactive peptides from keratin-containing materials such as wool, hair, skin and feathers presents an exciting opportunity for discovery of novel functional food ingredients and nutraceuticals, while value-adding to cheap and plentiful natural sources. The published literature reports multiple examples of proline-rich

Fossilized skin reveals coevolution with feathers and metabolism in feathered dinosaurs and early birds [PDF]

, 2018
Feathers are remarkable evolutionary innovations that are associated with complex adaptations of the skin in modern birds. Fossilised feathers in non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds provide insights into feather evolution, but how associated ...

Regional variation in the flexural properties of the equine hoof wall [PDF]

, 2008
The equine hoof wall is a hard, keratinous structure that transmits forces generated when the hoof connects the ground to the skeleton of the horse. During locomotion the hoof capsule is known to deform, resulting in an inward curvature of the dorsal ...

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

Insights into the keratin efficient degradation mechanism mediated by Bacillus sp. CN2 based on integrating functional degradomics

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Background Keratin, the main component of chicken feather, is the third most abundant material after cellulose and chitin. Keratin can be converted into high-value compounds and is considered a potential high-quality protein supplement; However, its ...
