330-360 / 1000+ results research The Hairless Phenotype of the Hirosaki Hairless Rat Is Due to the Deletion of an 80-kb Genomic DNA Containing Five Basic Keratin Genes
Hirosaki hairless rats lack hair due to missing DNA with key keratin genes.
research Immunohistochemical demonstration of keratins in the epidermal layers of the Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica), with remarks on the evolution of the integumental scale armour
Keratins in Malayan pangolins vary by region, suggesting scales evolved from the tail towards the head.
research Identification of the keratin-associated protein 13-3 (KAP13-3) gene in sheep
The KAP13-3 gene in sheep affects wool quality by influencing keratin assembly.
research The proteomic profile of hair damage
Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.
research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation
Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

Human head hair proteins can be typed into eight distinct patterns, useful for genetic and forensic investigations.
research Heat‐damaged evaluation of virgin hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Fabrication and biological evaluation in vivo of an injectable keratin hydrogel as filler materials
Keratin hydrogel from human hair is a promising biocompatible material for soft tissue fillers.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Shaft Cuticle–Specific Keratin-Associated Protein 10 Family
KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.
research Modification of wheat gluten for improvement of binding capacity with keratin in hair
Modified wheat protein in shampoo repairs and smooths damaged hair effectively.
research Correction of Hair Shaft Defects through Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Krt75
Using special RNA to target a mutant gene fixed hair problems in mice.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Mutations in Homocysteine Metabolism Genes Increase Keratin N-Homocysteinylation and Damage in Mice
Genetic mutations that disrupt homocysteine breakdown lead to increased damage in mouse hair keratin.
research The Effects of an Oral Supplementation of a Natural Keratin Hydrolysate on Skin Aging: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Clinical Study in Healthy Women
Taking natural keratin supplements improved skin, hair, and nails in women.
research Seasonal Variability in Transcript Expression of Type I and Type II Keratins in Wool Follicles of Lustrous Fleece-Producing Magra Sheep
Higher keratin protein levels are important for the wool's shine in Magra sheep.
research A discrete transition zone between cuticle and cortex layers of a human hair fibre: changes observed in the presence of breast cancer
Breast cancer alters specific molecular structures in hair, which revert after cancer removal.
