November 1994 in “Differentiation” This study found that trichohyalin is expressed in various normal and pathological epithelia beyond hair follicle cells, where it is uniquely associated with filaggrin, suggesting a specific role in aggregating K6/K16-containing intermediate filaments.
January 2001 in “Biomedical Research” This study observed that PAD type III and trichohyalin are expressed earlier than their deiminated form during the first and second hair cycles in rat hair follicles, indicating a potential additional factor is involved in triggering deimination.
