Mice genetically modified to produce more Del1 protein had faster hair regrowth.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Potential use of human hair shaft keratin peptide signatures to distinguish gender and ethnicity
Keratin peptides in hair might help identify gender and ethnicity.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Development and Evaluation of a Novel Fish-Derived Protein Peptide Conditioner Formulated with Pneumatophorus japonicus Heads Peptides

research AP-2α/AP-2β transcription factors are key regulators of epidermal homeostasis
AP-2α and AP-2β proteins are essential for healthy adult skin and hair.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
K16 can partially replace K14 but causes hair loss and skin issues.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research Expression of truncated latent TGF-β-binding protein modulates TGF-β signaling
Truncated LTBP-1 disrupts TGF-β signaling, affecting hair growth.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
