No difference in keratin thickness between inner and outer foreskins from elective male circumcisions in Rakai, Uganda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 It has been hypothesized that increased HIV acquisition in uncircumcised men may relate to a more thinly keratinized inner foreskin. However, published data are contradictory and potentially confounded by medical indications for circumcision.

Keratin 19 Epithelial Patterns in Cirrhotic Stroma Parallel Hepatocarcinogenesis [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2011 Cirrhotic septa harbor vessels and inflammatory, fibrogenic, and ductular epithelial cells, collectively referred to as the ductular reaction (DR). Lack of the DR in the stromal compartment around hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been documented; however, the relationship of epithelial keratin 19 (K19) structures to progression of intralesional ...

Keratin 13 is a more specific marker of conjunctival epithelium than keratin 19.
Molecular vision, 2011 To evaluate the expression patterns of cytokeratin (K) 12, 13, and 19 in normal epithelium of the human ocular surface to determine whether K13 could be used as a marker for conjunctival epithelium.Total RNA was isolated from the human conjunctiva and central cornea.

An Integrative Bioinformatic Analysis for Keratinase Detection in Marine-Derived Streptomyces
Marine Drugs, 2021 Keratinases present promising biotechnological applications, due to their ability to degrade keratin. Streptomyces appears as one of the main sources of these enzymes, but complete genome sequences of keratinolytic bacteria are still limited.

Keratin 19 expression correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer [PDF]
Molecular Biology Reports, 2014 Breast cancer expression profiling has been used for determining biomarkers. Using gene expression profiles of 2,400 patients we identified keratin 19 (KRT19) as a highly deregulated gene in breast cancer. KRT19 expression is independent of patient race but correlates with disease grade, and ER, PR or HER2 expression.

Two mechanisms regulate keratin K15 expression in keratinocytes:role of PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1 mediated signalling [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Keratin 15 (K15) is a type I keratin that is used as a marker of stem cells. Its expression is restricted to the basal layer of stratified epithelia, and the bulge in hair follicles.

Epitope Mapping of Monoclonal Antibodies to Keratin 19 Using Keratin Fragments, Synthetic Peptides and Phage Peptide Libraries [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1995 To generate tools for monitoring processing and folding in keratin intermediate filaments, a group of monoclonal antibodies reacting with the intermediate filament protein keratin 19 were studied using different approaches to define the structure and localization of their epitopes. The binding pattern to bacterially expressed human keratin 19 fragments

An ex vivo comparison of the tensile strengthening properties of protein derivatives on damaged hair [PDF]
, 2015 Conventional conditioning agents, cationic surfactants and polymers, are often limited in their ability to repair and strengthen the hair fibre, while protein-derived actives have been found to enhance the tensile strength of damaged hair.
