Human hair keratin genes hHa2 and hHb1 are located on chromosomes 17 and 12.

research A cDNA Encoding the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1

20 citations , October 1995 in “Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression”

hHb1, hHb3, and hHb6 mRNAs start expressing at the same time in hair follicles.

research Mutation of a Type II Keratin Gene (K6a) in Pachyonychia Congenita

232 citations , July 1995 in “Nature Genetics”

research A Novel Human Type I Hair Keratin Gene: Evidence For Two Keratin HHa3 Isoforms

21 citations , January 1995 in “Molecular Biology Reports”

This study identified a novel human type I hair keratin, hHa3-II, as an isoform of a previously described hHa3 keratin, with distinct sequence differences indicating separate gene encoding.

research Sequence and Expression of Murine Type I Hair Keratins mHa2 and mHa3

47 citations , June 1994 in “Experimental Cell Research”

mHa2 and mHa3 keratins have different structures and roles in mouse hair and tongue tissues.

research Human Hair Keratins

38 citations , July 1993 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

research Human Hair Keratins

90 citations , July 1993 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This article reviews the molecular characteristics of human hair keratins, noting their distinct classification from epidermal keratins and the variability in expression that may occur without noticeable hair changes, but reports no new study results.

research Patterns of Expression of Trichocytic and Epithelial Cytokeratins in Mammalian Tissues II: Concomitant and Mutually Exclusive Synthesis of Trichocytic and Epithelial Cytokeratins in Diverse Human and Bovine Tissues (Hair Follicle, Nail Bed and Matrix, Lingual Papilla, Thymic Reticulum)

187 citations , May 1988 in “Differentiation”

This study found that trichocytic cytokeratins, typically found in hair, are also present in nails, filiform papillae of the tongue, and the epithelial reticulum of the thymus.

Acidic and Basic Hair/Nail (Hard) Keratins: Their Colocalization in Upper Cortical and Cuticle Cells of the Human Hair Follicle and Their Relationship to Soft Keratins

research Acidic and Basic Hair/Nail (Hard) Keratins: Their Colocalization in Upper Cortical and Cuticle Cells of the Human Hair Follicle and Their Relationship to Soft Keratins

356 citations , December 1986 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology”

This study found that specific human hair keratins are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, suggesting a shared pathway of epithelial differentiation between hair cortex and nail plate cells.

research The Complement of Native Alpha-Keratin Polypeptides of Hair-Forming Cells: A Subset of Eight Polypeptides That Differ from Epithelial Cytokeratins
