research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages

43 citations , July 1994 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study found that the extraction-resistant structures in hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth are due to ε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-linked proteins, emphasizing their role in maintaining the integrity of these materials.

research The Enzymic Derivation of Citrulline Residues from Arginine Residues In Situ during the Biosynthesis of Hair Proteins that are Cross-Linked by Isopeptide Bonds

45 citations , January 1977 in “Advances in experimental medicine and biology”

Hair follicles have an enzyme that converts arginine to citrulline in proteins.

research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices

4 citations , January 2015 in “Sen'i Gakkaishi”

This study proposed a network model for the cross-linked structure of keratin-associated proteins in hair and wool fibers, suggesting notable differences between the two, potentially affecting hair fiber elasticity.

research Intermolecular disulfide cross-linked structural change induced by permanent wave treatment of human hair with thioglycolic acid.

1 citations , January 2013 in “PubMed”

In this study, treating hair with thioglycolic acid was found to alter disulfide bond patterns in keratin-associated proteins, shifting them from an ellipsoidal to a near-spherical shape.

research Biochemical Evidence That Small Proline-rich Proteins and Trichohyalin Function in Epithelia by Modulation of the Biomechanical Properties of Their Cornified Cell Envelopes

99 citations , May 1998 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.
