    GlossaryKeratin Intermediate Filaments (KIFs)

    structural proteins in cells providing support and resilience

    Keratin Intermediate Filaments (KIFs) are structural proteins found in epithelial cells, including those in the skin, hair, and nails. They provide mechanical support and resilience, helping cells withstand stress and maintain their shape. KIFs are a type of intermediate filament, which are part of the cytoskeleton, a network that supports cell structure and function.
