    protein providing structural support in skin, hair, and nails

    Keratin 16 (K16) is a type of protein found in the skin, hair, and nails that helps provide structural support and resilience. It is particularly important in the body's response to stress or injury, as it is upregulated in conditions like psoriasis and certain types of alopecia, where the skin or hair follicles are damaged.
