July 1994 in “PubMed” This study found that TPA treatment induced expression of keratins K6 and K16 in mouse epidermis, with K6 expressed across all cell layers and K16 only in post-mitotic cells.
This study found that activating cannabinoid receptor 1 reduces the expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human keratinocytes, suggesting potential implications for psoriasis management.

February 2013 in “PeerJ” This study found that CB1 activation by a specific agonist led to decreased expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human skin and inhibited keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting potential for cannabinoid receptors in psoriasis management.
This study found that CB1 receptor activation reduced keratin K6 and K16 expression in human keratinocytes in vitro and in situ, suggesting potential relevance for both psoriasis management and wound healing.

February 1988 in “Molecular and Cellular Biology” 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.
