A new genetic change in the keratin 10 gene caused a skin condition called ichthyosis hystrix in a father and his daughter.
research Esrp1-Regulated Splicing of Arhgef11 Isoforms Is Required for Epithelial Tight Junction Integrity
The study concluded that specific proteins are necessary to maintain the structure that holds epithelial cells tightly together.
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 Ectopic Expression of a Truncated Isoform of Hair Keratin 81 in Breast Cancer Alters Biophysical Characteristics to Promote Metastatic Propensity
A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.
research Pitfalls of mapping a large Turkish consanguineous family with vertical monilethrix inheritance.
A mutation in the KRT86 gene causes hair fragility in a Turkish family.
research KRT17 promotes endometrial cancer cell migration as well as angiogenesis by regulating HIF-1α/VEGF pathway
KRT17 may be a new target for endometrial cancer treatment because it helps cancer cells move and form new blood vessels.
research A mutation in the hair matrix and cuticle keratin KRTHB5 gene causes ectodermal dysplasia of hair and nail type
A mutation in the KRTHB5 gene causes hair and nail issues.
research K15 promoter-driven enforced expression of NKIRAS exhibits tumor suppressive activity against the development of DMBA/TPA-induced skin tumors
NKIRAS2 can suppress certain skin tumors but its effect on cancer varies with context and expression level.
research hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, Two Novel Human High Sulfur Keratin-Associated Proteins are Expressed in the Hair Follicle Cortex
Two new proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, are found in the hair follicle cortex.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ
Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.
research 200 The relationship between the expression of cytokeratin 5/6 and clinicopathologic factors in invasive breast carcinoma
CK 5/6 expression in breast cancer is linked to negative hormone receptor status and higher tumor grade.
research 645 MIG6 is MEK-regulated and affects EGF-induced migration in mutant NRAS melanoma
Decreasing MIG6 can increase the movement and invasiveness of MEK-inhibited mutant NRAS melanoma, particularly when stimulated by EGF.
research The functions and possible significance of Kremen as the gatekeeper of Wnt signalling in development and pathology
Kremen is crucial for proper development and preventing tumors by regulating Wnt signaling.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Distinct mutations in human basic hair keratins 1 and 6 cause monilethrix: Implications for protein structure and clinical phenotype
research K31 as a novel marker for clear secretory cells in human eccrine sweat glands
K31 can identify clear secretory cells in human sweat glands.
research Probing keratinocyte and differentiation specificity of the human K5 promoter in vitro and in transgenic mice.
The K5 promoter controls gene expression in skin cells, with specific DNA segments crucial for targeting and regulation.
research Probing Keratinocyte and Differentiation Specificity of the Human K5 Promoter in Vitro and in Transgenic Mice
The human K5 promoter controls specific gene expression in skin cells, with key regulatory elements near the TATA box.
research Sequencing KRT71 as a candidate gene for hair shape variation in dromedary camels
KRT71 gene variants may influence camel hair shape but don't fully explain it.
research Deletions in the KAP6-1 gene are associated with fiber traits in cashmere-producing goats
Certain changes in the KAP6-1 gene affect the thickness and length of cashmere goat fibers.
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research 766 H3K9me3 methyltransferase SETDB1 controls retrotransposon silencing, DNA methylation, constitutive heterochromatin maintenance and 3D-chromatin structure in epidermal keratinocytes
SETDB1 is essential for controlling DNA methylation, silencing retrotransposons, and maintaining skin cell health, with its absence leading to skin inflammation and hair loss.
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.
