Keratins and the Skin

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1995
Keratins are the major structural proteins of the vertebrate epidermis and its appendages, constituting up to 85% of a fully differentiated keratinocyte. Together with actin microfilaments and microtubules, keratin filaments make up the cytoskeletons of vertebrate epithelial cells.

Dynamic evolution of the alpha (α) and beta (β) keratins has accompanied integument diversification and the adaptation of birds into novel lifestyles

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014
BackgroundVertebrate skin appendages are constructed of keratins produced by multigene families. Alpha (α) keratins are found in all vertebrates, while beta (β) keratins are found exclusively in reptiles and birds. We have studied the molecular evolution

Keratin and keratinization

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1994
A flood of new knowledge and discoveries in the basic science of keratins and keratinization has appeared in the past several years. This review summarizes this recent information with a focus on the epithelial keratin polypeptides, keratin intermediate filaments, keratohyaline granule proteins, cell envelope formation and cell envelope proteins, "soft"

Structure of Keratin

2021
Keratins, as a group of insoluble and filament-forming proteins, mainly exist in certain epithelial cells of vertebrates. Keratinous materials are made up of cells filled with keratins, while they are the toughest biological materials such as the human hair, wool and horns of mammals and feathers, claws, and beaks of birds and reptiles which usually ...

Keratins and Keratinization

1988
The workshop on keratin and keratinization began with a brief discussion of keratinocyte structure observed using recently advanced technical tools for ultrastructural investigations. Hiroyuki Suzuki (Japan) discussed desmosomes analyzed with ultrathin frozen sections prepared without the use of high temperature, organic solvents and epoxy embedding ...
