Research cited in this study
13 / 13 resultsresearch Sequence, Expression, and Evolutionary Conservation of a Gene Encoding a Glycine/Tyrosine-Rich Keratin-Associated Protein of Hair
This research observed that sheep and rabbit KAP6 genes, expressed in hair follicle cells, have high sequence similarity and indicate conservation due to evolutionary selection pressures.
research Hair Follicle Differentiation: Expression, Structure, and Evolutionary Conservation of the Hair Type II Keratin Intermediate Filament Gene Family
This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.
research Chromosomal Localization of Mouse Hair Keratin Genes
This study suggests that hair keratin gene mutations in mice may be linked to specific loci on chromosomes 11 and 15, potentially influencing keratin expression or structure.
research Regulation of Keratin Gene Expression in Hair Follicle Differentiation
This study found that conserved DNA motifs and expression patterns in keratin genes suggest functional regulatory similarities in hair follicle differentiation across different mammalian species.
research Hair-Specific Keratins: Characterization and Expression of a Mouse Type I Keratin Gene
research An Ultrahigh-Sulphur Keratin Gene of the Human Hair Cuticle Is Located at 11q13 and Cross-Hybridizes with Sequences at 11p15
research Structure and Biochemistry of Mammalian Hard Keratin
research Structure and Expression of Genes for a Class of Cysteine-Rich Proteins of the Cuticle Layers of Differentiating Wool and Hair Follicles
This study identified two evolutionarily conserved ultra-high-sulfur keratin proteins in human and sheep hair follicles, which are specifically expressed in the hair cuticle during the late stages of fiber development.
research Cyclic Hair Loss and Regrowth in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing an Intermediate Filament Gene
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research A Group of Type I Keratin Genes on Human Chromosome 17: Characterization and Expression
This study found that despite strong homology between two K16 genes, only one encoded a functional protein that assembled into keratin filaments in epithelial cells, possibly due to promoter strength differences.
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
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 Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
This chapter reviews the complexity of hair and wool follicle formation, emphasizing the importance of cytological studies to understand the relationship between cellular components.
research Electron Microscope Studies of Hair and Wool
This article reports electron microscope studies on the structure of hair and wool, but it does not present new clinical findings.
