Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
research Genetic disorders of keratin: are scarring alopecias a sub-set?
Keratin mutations may cause scarring alopecia by damaging hair structure.
research Interaction of polypeptides with hair in different reducing environments
Small KP peptide improves hair without reducing agents, while larger proteins need them for better results.
research BMP4 regulates differentiation of nestin-positive stem cells into melanocytes
BMP4 helps stem cells turn into pigment-producing cells, affecting hair color and growth.
research Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
research Insulin-like growth factor 1 and hair growth
IGF-1 can boost hair growth by promoting cell growth and preventing cell death.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
