480-510 / 1000+ resultsresearch Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
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 Keratins 1 and 10 or homologues as regular constituents of inner root sheath and cuticle cells in the human hair follicle.
Keratins K1 and K10 are found in the inner root sheath and cuticle of human hair follicles.
research Some electron microscope observations on hardening in the human hair follicle
The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.
research Epidermal Barrier
Healthy skin prevents water loss and protects against threats.
research Structural analysis of the outermost hair surface using TOF-SIMS with gas cluster ion beam sputtering
The hair's outermost surface has multiple layers of lipids and proteins.

Sciellin is a protein that helps form protective layers in skin, hair, and nails.
research The stratum corneum barrier: impaired function in relation to associated lipids and proteins
The skin's outer layer relies on lipids and proteins to protect against damage.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
