research Psoriasis patients demonstrate HLA-Cw*06:02 allele dosage-dependent T cell proliferation when treated with hair follicle-derived keratin 17 protein
Psoriasis patients' immune response to a hair protein depends on their specific gene type.
research Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
The study found 65 intermediate filament genes, including new keratins, and suggested updating keratin naming.
research Specific Citrullination Causes Assembly of a Globular S100A3 Homotetramer
A specific chemical change in the S100A3 protein leads to the formation of a four-part structure important for hair formation.
research Clinical Snippets
A hormone affects hair growth, certain molecules may prevent skin damage, a skin disease is linked to immune cells, glycerol helps skin hydration, and psoriasis treatment trials need improvement.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Chapter 3 Expression and Modification of Keratins During Terminal Differentiation of Mammalian Epidermis
Keratins change and are modified differently in skin layers and body parts.
research Poly(rC) binding protein 2 acts as a negative regulator of IRES-mediated translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research Health improvement of human hair and their reshaping using recombinant keratin K31
Recombinant keratin K31 makes damaged hair thicker, stronger, and straighter.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research Epidermal expression of the truncated prelamin A causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: effects on keratinocytes, hair and skin
Progerin affects cell shape but not hair or skin in mice.
research Mutations in the hair cortex keratin hHb6 cause the inherited hair disease monilethrix
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Cysteine Prevents the Reduction in Keratin Synthesis Induced by Iron Deficiency in Human Keratinocytes
Cysteine helps maintain keratin production in skin cells even when iron is low.
research The Mixed Lineage Kinase Leucine-Zipper Protein Kinase Exhibits a Differentiation-Associated Localization in Normal Human Skin and Induces Keratinocyte Differentiation upon Overexpression
ZPK helps skin cells mature and may affect skin health.
research A curated catalog of canine and equine keratin genes
61 functional keratin genes were identified in dogs and horses, leading to updated gene annotations.
research A novel mutation in ST14 at a functionally significant amino acid residue expands the spectrum of ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome
A new mutation in the ST14 gene broadens the understanding of ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome.
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 Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
research 532 Unexpected expression of hemoglobin α as an endogenous antioxidant in epidermal keratinocytes
Hemoglobin α acts as an antioxidant in skin cells, especially protecting hair follicle stem cells from UV damage.
research Expression of caspase-14 and keratin-19 in the human epidermis and appendages during fetal skin development
research Superficial Epidermolytic Ichthyosis—Hypertrichosis as a Clue to Diagnosis
Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) can help diagnose superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis.
research Epidermal and hair follicle transglutaminases and crosslinking in skin
research Screening and Expression of Keratin EST in Xinji Fine Wool Sheep
Four keratin genes are crucial for hair growth in Xinji fine wool sheep.
research Bi-allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24‐1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep
The research identified a gene in sheep important for wool quality, which could help improve wool traits.
research A highly resistant structure between the cuticle and the cortex of human hair. II . CARB , a penetration barrier
CARB is a strong barrier in human hair that prevents dye penetration.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
