research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
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 Characterization of Human KAP24.1, A Cuticular Hair Keratin-Associated Protein with Unusual Amino-Acid Composition and Repeat Structure
Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.
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 cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research Dermatopathology and molecular genetics
Combining skin tissue pathology with genetics has greatly improved the diagnosis and understanding of certain skin diseases.
research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.

K42 and K124 keratins are only found in horse hoof lamellae.
research Building Models for Keratin Disorders
Krt16-deficient mice help understand skin disorders like PC and FNEPPK.
research 840 Early and late matrix progenitors form the terminally differentiated cell layers of the hair follicle
Early and late matrix progenitors in hair follicles create different cell layers, with early ones forming the companion layer and later ones forming the inner root sheath and hair shaft.
research Natural course of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation in a Japanese family with the p.P25L mutation in KRT 5
The p.P25L mutation in the KRT5 gene causes a rare skin condition that worsens over time and may lead to hair loss starting in young adulthood.
research Onset of Keratin 17 Expression Coincides with the Definition of Major Epithelial Lineages during Skin Development
Keratin 17 is important for skin development and may help define skin cell types.
research Atrichia Caused by Mutations in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene is a Phenocopy of Generalized Atrichia Caused by Mutations in the Hairless Gene
Mutations in the Vitamin D receptor gene can cause hair loss similar to mutations in the Hairless gene.
research The mouse keratin 6 isoforms are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, footpad, tongue and activated epidermis
Mouse keratin 6 isoforms have different expression patterns in various tissues.
research Sequences and differential expression of three novel human type-II hair keratins
Hair differentiation starts earlier than thought, involving multiple type-II keratins.
research Cloning of human, murine, and marsupial keratin 7 and a survey of K7 expression in the mouse
The research cloned keratin 7 genes from humans, mice, and marsupials, found similarities between human and mouse genes, and discovered new areas of K7 expression in mice.
research Overexpression of human keratin 16 produces a distinct skin phenotype in transgenic mouse skin
High levels of human keratin 16 in mice cause skin lesions and abnormal skin development.
research PLCD1 and Pilar Cysts
The research linked PLCD1 gene variants to the development of trichilemmal cysts.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research 583 Promoting hair growth and hair keratin production with a propolis extract
Propolis extract can promote hair growth and increase keratin production.
research iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics revealing the therapeutic mechanism of a medicinal and edible formula YH0618 in reducing doxorubicin-induced alopecia by targeting keratins and TGF-β/Smad3 pathway
YH0618 helps reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
