Carbamoylated Nail Proteins as Assessed by Near-Infrared Analysis Are Associated with Load of Uremic Toxins and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Carbamoylation is an important risk factor for accelerated atherogenesis and mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). We intended to explore whether carbamoylation as assessed by near-infrared (NIR) analysis of nail proteins is associated with

A novel and ancient group of type I keratins with members in bichir, sturgeon and gar [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2007 1. Background Vertebrate epithelial cells typically express a specific set of keratins. In teleosts, keratins are also present in a variety of mesenchymal cells, which usually express vimentin.

Quantifying cytoskeletal protein interactions with far Western blotting [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular BiosciencesThe study of cytoskeletal proteins has been limited by some of their intrinsic properties, such as fixed intracellular localization and insolubility, which limit the implementation of many protein–protein interaction assays.

Extraction of keratin particles as intact protein sequences from chicken feathers and their characterization [PDF]
Biomaterials and BiosystemsKeratins are ubiquitously occurring proteins, which are the structural basis of e.g. hairs, nails, and even skin. In detail, the Stratum corneum (SC) barrier function depends on the keratin-filled corneocytes and the surrounding lipid matrix.

Hepatocyte Thorns, A Novel Drug-Induced Stress Response in Human and Mouse Liver Spheroids
Cells, 2022 The in vivo-relevant phenotype of 3D liver spheroids allows for long-term studies of, e.g., novel mechanisms of chronic drug-induced liver toxicity.

International Journal of Dermatology, 1976 Early studies have already shown that the tonofibrils of malpighian cells consist of a --SH containing fibrous alpha-protein. It was assumed that the highly resistant protective substance, keratin, was formed by the conversion of --SH groups into --S--S--bonds in this protein.

The comparative analysis of the methods for keratin extraction from sheep wool and human hair
Біологія тварин, 2020 Nowadays, biopolymers such as keratins are widely used in biomedicine due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. At the molecular level, keratins differ from other structural proteins by a high content of disulfide bonds, which ...

The time-dependent expression of keratins 5 and 13 during the reepithelialization of human skin wounds [PDF]
, 1993 The time-dependent reepithelialization of 55 human surgical skin wounds with a wound age between 8h and more than 2 months was investigated by the immunohistochemical localization of cytokeratins 5 and 13.
