11 / 11 resultsresearch Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
K6hf is found in specific parts of hair follicles, nails, and tongue, and is linked to hair growth and structure.
research K6irs1, K6irs2, K6irs3, And K6irs4 Represent The Inner-Root-Sheath-Specific Type II Epithelial Keratins Of The Human Hair Follicle
Four specific keratins in hair follicles help understand hair structure and function.
research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, Is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells of the Human Hair Follicle
A new keratin, hK6irs1, is found in all layers of the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
