Keratin 19: Predicted amino acid sequence and broad tissue distribution suggest it evolved from keratinocyte keratins

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1989
The type I keratin 19 is unusual in its tissue distribution in that under normal circumstances it does not seem to be restricted, as the other keratins are, to expression in either stratified or simple epithelia. In addition to the previously reported distribution of keratin 19 in human tissues, we have observed keratin 19 in epidermal basal cells, in ...

Tescalcin over-expression increases Keratin 18 and 19 in K562 cells

Journal of Basic and Clinical Health Sciences, 2022
Tescalcin (TESC) has been shown to be essential in mammalian cells as a regulator of intracellular Ca2+. Ca2+ is a second messenger functioning in many metabolic pathways as well as in cell differentiation, cell size and the cell cycle. K562 cells over-expressing TESC change their morphology and adopt adherent properties.

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.

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 im Verdauungssystem

, 2018
Keratine stellen Intermediärfilamente der Epithelzellen dar. K19 gehört mit K7, K8, K18 und K20 zu den Keratinen der einschichtigen Epithelien. In der Leber wird es in den Gallengangepithelien und hepatischen Stammzellen, nicht aber in adulten Hepatozyten exprimiert.

Expression of basal cell keratin 15 and keratin 19 in oral squamous neoplasms represents diverse pathophysiologies. [PDF]

Histology and histopathology, 2012
Human epithelium contains keratin, which is expressed during differentiation. Depending on the target cell type, different types of keratin are expressed, and their alterations seem to represent changes in cell properties. The basal cells of oral epithelium express keratin 5 (K5), K14, K15 and K19, but their alterations in tumors are unclear.

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.

Efficient isolation of keratin from protein-rich waste biomass: a practical approach to minimize environmental impact and valorize waste biomass

Sustainable Environment Research, 2022
Among various protein-containing biomass wastes, waste animal wool, poultry feather, and human hair are considered one of the most important renewable sources of keratin.
