427 citations , April 2008 in “Nature Protocols”

research Discovery of a Novel Murine Keratin 6 (K6) Isoform Explains the Absence of Hair and Nail Defects in Mice Deficient for K6a and K6b

101 citations , August 2001 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

This study found that while most mice lacking MK6a and MK6b genes died from tongue epithelium disintegration, about 25% survived and showed no hair or nail defects due to a newly discovered MK6hf gene.

research A Novel Type II Cytokeratin, mK6irs, Is Expressed in the Huxley and Henle Layers of the Mouse Inner Root Sheath

45 citations , March 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.
