Pathophysiology of keratinization
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2018 Cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Keratins are diverse proteins. These intermediate filaments maintain the structural integrity of the keratinocytes. The word keratin covers these intermediate filament-forming proteins within the keratinocytes.

Soft epidermis of a scaleless snake lacks beta-keratin
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 Beta-keratins are responsible for the mechanical resistance of scales in reptiles. In a scaleless crotalus snake (Crotalus atrox), large areas of the skin are completely devoid of scales, and the skin appears delicate and wrinkled.

THE SPECIFICITY OF KERATINS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1939 Kerateine and metakeratin were prepared from wool, chicken feathers and human hair. Chemical analyses revealed that the compounds are closely related. The results of serological studies disclose that species specificity is an individual characteristic of the keratins employed and that the specificity observed is dependent on the redox ...

Evolutionary origin of Hoxc13-dependent skin appendages in amphibians. [PDF]
Nat CommunCornified skin appendages, such as hair and nails, are major evolutionary innovations of terrestrial vertebrates. Human hair and nails consist largely of special intermediate filament proteins, known as hair keratins, which are expressed under the ...

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Autoinflammatory keratinization diseases [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017 Inflammation caused by the hyperactivation of innate immunity due to genetic factors occasionally leads to inflammatory cutaneous keratinization diseases. Such inflammatory keratinization diseases with genetic autoinflammatory mechanisms are called “autoinflammatory keratinization diseases” (AiKDs). We proposed a four-part definition of AiKDs.
