11 / 11 results

research Severe Abnormalities in the Oral Mucosa Induced by Suprabasal Expression of Epidermal Keratin K10 in Transgenic Mice

15 citations , September 2002 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study observed that transgenic mice expressing keratin K10 under bovine K6beta control developed severe oral abnormalities, suggesting keratin composition changes can affect the physiology of epithelial cells, especially in the oral mucosa.

research Epithelial Barrier Function: Assembly and Structural Features of the Cornified Cell Envelope

425 citations , August 2002 in “BioEssays”

This review discusses the structure and assembly of the cornified cell envelope in stratified squamous epithelial cells and various disorders leading to barrier defects, but reports no new findings.

research HOXC13 Is Involved in the Regulation of Human Hair Keratin Gene Expression

132 citations , February 2002 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study demonstrated that HOXC13 directly influences hair keratin gene expression by binding to specific DNA motifs, suggesting its role in early hair follicle differentiation.

research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins

272 citations , September 2001 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study cataloged human type II hair keratins, detailing their expression and differentiation roles in hair follicles and comparing them with type I keratins to explore keratin-pairing principles.

research Overexpression of Hoxc13 in Differentiating Keratinocytes Results in Downregulation of a Novel Hair Keratin Gene Cluster and Alopecia

114 citations , May 2001 in “Development”

This study found that overexpressing the Hoxc13 gene in mice causes hair loss and a skin condition similar to ichthyosis, identifying several gene targets that may regulate hair growth.

research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins

235 citations , July 1999 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study establishes a catalog of human type I hair keratins and identifies their specific roles and expression patterns during hair differentiation and growth in scalp follicles.

research Ontogeny and Regional Variability of Keratin 2e in Developing Human Fetal Skin: A Unique Spatial and Temporal Pattern of Keratin Expression in Development

19 citations , April 1999 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study shows that keratin 2e exhibits distinct temporal and regional expression patterns in fetal epidermis, suggesting different regulatory and functional roles from other epidermal keratins.

research Hoxc13 Mutant Mice Lack External Hair

245 citations , January 1998 in “Genes & Development”

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

research Structural Features and Sites of Expression of a New Murine 65 kD and 48 kD Hair-Related Keratin Pair, Associated with a Special Type of Parakeratotic Epithelial Differentiation

28 citations , August 1992 in “Differentiation”

This study identified a new 65 kD and 48 kD keratin pair expressed in specific mouse epithelial sites, suggesting a unique evolutionary branch of hair-related keratins.

research Characterization of Sciellin, a Precursor to the Cornified Envelope of Human Keratinocytes

64 citations , April 1992 in “Differentiation”

This study identified Sciellin, a new protein precursor to the cornified envelope in keratinocytes, with unique solubility properties hinting at its potential role in envelope assembly.

research Expression of Hair-Related Keratins in a Soft Epithelium: Subpopulations of Human and Mouse Dorsal Tongue Keratinocytes Express Keratin Markers for Hair, Skin, and Esophageal Types of Differentiation

128 citations , March 1989 in “Experimental Cell Research”

Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.
