1. The homologous group of mammalian hard keratins show extreme diversity in composition,
particularly in cystine, glutamic acid, glycine, leucine, proline and tyrosine. 2. 2. Keratins …

The ϕ keratins extracted from individual turtles and snakes were compared. The extent and
nature of the molecular differentiation associated with the production of structurally distinct …

Keratinized tissues exhibit considerable heterogeneity in composition but they all contain
structural proteins, designated keratins, as major constituents. In mammals, these structural …

… The diversity of keratins and exquisite regulation as a function of differentiation and biological
context suggest that they partake in functions other than structural support. Consistent with …

The proteins of hair reside in the main histological components that make up a hair, namely
the cortex, the outer covering of cuticle and in most hairs, a central core or medulla. Our …

All mammalian hard keratins consist of filaments about 7 nm in diameter, embedded in a
nonfilamentous matrix. Many lines of enquiry have led to the view that the filaments are …

We screened the draft sequence of the human genome for genes that encode intermediate
filament (IF) proteins in general, and keratins in particular. The draft covers nearly all …

A study has been made of the high-sulphur proteins isolated from keratins to determine the
value of using their electrophoretic patterns as an aid in studying the classification of closely …

All or nearly all intragemmal (elongated) cells of rat taste buds were immunopositive for
keratins 7, 8, and 19. In contrast, keratin 18 was detected in 19±5 cells per taste bud (mean±sd), …

A study has been made of the high-sulphur proteins isolated from keratins to determine the
value of using their electrophoretic patterns as an aid in studying the classification ofclosely …
