Genomic Organization and Amplification of the Human Keratin 15 and Keratin 19 Genes

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2000
Keratin intermediate filaments are the major components of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. Mutations in keratin genes have been documented in many disorders of the skin, nails, hair, and mucous membranes. Although no mutations have been described in either keratin 15 or keratin 19, they are good candidates for other as yet uncharacterized genetic

Voiding symptoms aggravate with decreasing stromal/epithelial ratio and increasing glandular-epithelial content in patients undergoing laser enucleation for benign prostatic hyperplasia, independently from prostate size. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
IntroductionBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) includes epithelial, stromal and mixed hyperplasia, but their specific contributions to voiding symptoms and prostate volume (PV) are unknown.

Keratin 19 as a Stem Cell Marker In Vivo and In Vitro

, 2004
The skin is a dynamic tissue in which terminally differentiated keratinocytes are replaced by the proliferation of new epithelial cells that will undergo differentiation. The rapid and continual turnover of skin throughout life depends on a cell population with unique characteristics: the stem cells.

Absence of keratin 19 in mice causes skeletal myopathy with mitochondrial and sarcolemmal reorganization

Journal of Cell Science, 2007
Intermediate filaments, composed of desmin and of keratins, play important roles in linking contractile elements to each other and to the sarcolemma in striated muscle. We examined the contractile properties and morphology of fast-twitch skeletal muscle from mice lacking keratin 19.

Keratin 19 is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. [PDF]

Medicine (Baltimore)
This study aimed to evaluate Keratin 19 (KRT19) as a potential prognostic biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD). Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Gene Expression Omnibus, we analyzed KRT19 expression in PAAD tissues and identified differentially expressed genes associated with KRT19. Gene ontology (

Identification of Epithelial Stem Cells In Vivo and In Vitro Using Keratin 19 and BrdU

, 2009
Progress in the identification of skin stem cells and the improvement of culture methods open the possibility to use stem cells in regenerative medicine. Based on their quiescent nature, the development of label retention assays allowed the localization of skin stem cells in the bulge region of the pilosebaceous units and in the bottom of rete ridges ...

Signal peptide-independent secretion of keratin-19 by pancreatic cancer cells. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Abstract The exclusion of T cells causes immune escape of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). T cell exclusion is mediated by the interaction between CXCR4 on T cells and its ligand, CXCL12, which is complexed to keratin-19 (KRT19) on the surface of PDA cells.

Keratin 19: a key role player in the invasion of human hepatocellular carcinomas [PDF]

Gut, 2013
Objective Keratin (K)19, a biliary/hepatic progenitor cell (HPC) marker, is expressed in a subset of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) with poor prognosis. The underlying mechanisms driving this phenotype of K19-positive HCC remain elusive. Design

Improving the Adsorption Properties of Keratin-Based Goat Hair Toward Reactive Dyes in Dyeing Wastewater by Steam Explosion

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Keratin-based goat hair could be used bioadsorbent due to its large availability, biodegradability and low cost. Unfortunately, most available keratin adsorbents are either low in adsorption capacity or high in preparation cost.
