research Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
K6hf is found in specific parts of hair follicles, nails, and tongue, and is linked to hair growth and structure.
research Structure and expression of genes for a class of cysteine-rich proteins of the cuticle layers of differentiating wool and hair follicles.
Researchers found genes for cysteine-rich proteins that form the protective layer of hair in humans and sheep.
research The keratoacanthoma: A review
Keratoacanthoma is a common, usually non-dangerous skin tumor that looks like squamous cell carcinoma but rarely becomes severe.
research HAIR KERATINIZATION IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
Understanding intermediate filaments helps explain hair health and related diseases.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Electrophoretic variation of hair proteins.
Most people have similar hair protein patterns, but a rare variant was found in two women.
research Evidence for Novel Functions of the Keratin Tail Emerging from a Mutation Causing Ichthyosis Hystrix
The keratin tail is crucial for skin structure and function.
research KRT72 wt Allele
KRT72 gene helps form hair.

Jawless vertebrates have teeth proteins similar to those in mammalian hair and nails.
research Expression of the Intermediate Filament Keratin Gene,K15,in the Basal Cell Layers of Epithelia and the Hair Follicle
K15 gene is mainly active in the basal layers of hair follicles and epithelia, aiding early skin cell development.
research Discovery of a novel murine keratin 6 (K6) isoform explains the absence of hair and nail defects in mice deficient for K6a and K6b
A new keratin 6 type in mice explains why some mice without certain keratin genes still have normal hair and nails.
research Keratin 16 Expression Defines a Subset of Epithelial Cells During Skin Morphogenesis and the Hair Cycle

research Supplementary material from "Giant axonal neuropathy alters the structure of keratin intermediate filaments in human hair"
Giant axonal neuropathy changes the structure of keratin in human hair, making it stiffer and stronger.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Initiation Motif of the Keratin K71 Gene Underlies Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Dysfunction of keratinocyte adhesion
Keratinocyte adhesion problems can cause skin and hair disorders.
