Only one of the two K16 genes on chromosome 17 makes a functional protein for keratin filaments.
research Crosstalk between vimentin and keratins in viral infection: Implications across the viral life cycle
Vimentin and keratin help viruses spread and could be targets for antiviral treatments.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Keratins in health and cancer: more than mere epithelial cell markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Increased expression of keratin 16 causes anomalies in cytoarchitecture and keratinization in transgenic mouse skin.
Too much keratin 16 in mice skin causes abnormal skin thickening and structure.
research Endocrine controls of keratin expression
