Research cited in this study
15 / 15 resultsresearch Serine-Rich Ultra High Sulfur Protein Gene Expression in Murine Hair and Skin During the Hair Cycle
In this study, elevated mRNA levels for serine-rich ultra high sulfur proteins were observed during active hair growth phases in mice, particularly in the forming hair structures and upper skin layers.
research Hair-Specific Expression of Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase in Transgenic Mice Under the Control of an Ultra-High-Sulfur Keratin Promoter
This study found that a 671-base pair promoter sequence from the ultra-high-sulfur keratin gene is sufficient to direct tissue-specific and development-specific expression of a reporter gene during hair growth in transgenic mice.

research A New Look Into an Old Problem: Keratins as Tools to Investigate Determination, Morphogenesis, and Differentiation in Skin
This study found that keratin K14 expression occurs early in epidermal cell differentiation, while a hair-specific keratin is expressed later in hair matrix cells, suggesting developmental divergence between the two cell types.

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.
research Patterns of Expression of Trichocytic and Epithelial Cytokeratins in Mammalian Tissues: Human and Bovine Hair Follicles
In this study, researchers observed that trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins have distinct expression patterns within various human and bovine hair follicle cells, contributing to understanding hair follicle development and growth.
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.

Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.

Different keratin proteins are expressed in various epithelial cells at different stages, affecting cell structure and function.
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.
