Trichohyalin is found in non-hair tissues and works with filaggrin in certain skin areas and conditions.
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Solubility of Structurally Complicated Materials: 3. Hair
Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.
research Suprabasal change and subsequent formation of disulfide-stabilized homo- and hetero-dimers of keratins during esophageal epithelial differentiation
Keratins K4 and K13 form stable dimers in mature esophageal cells, aiding cell stability.
