This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This research identified K31 as a new marker for distinguishing clear secretory cells in human eccrine sweat glands, aiding in differentiating between distinct cell types within these glands.

This study observed that human hair keratin showed distinct morphological features depending on the dissolution speed, which could have potential applications in clinical settings for developing self-tendons.

This study found that hHbl gene expression is localized in the cortical cells of the human hair shaft and is notably high in pilomatricoma cells transitioning to hair shaft keratinocytes.

This study found that CLK1 is necessary for epidermal differentiation but does not affect sebocyte differentiation in a telogen skin stem cell line.

This study found that keratin 6hf, a type II keratin, is expressed in specific regions of mouse and human hair and suggests potential interactions with keratin 17, impacting hair development and associated disorders.

This review discusses the roles of human tissue kallikreins in skin physiology and pathology and reports no new findings, emphasizing their potential involvement in various skin functions and conditions.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

This study identifies KLK14 as a significant factor contributing to hair defects and skin inflammation in a mouse model of Netherton syndrome.

This study demonstrates that the trichohyalin gene is located at chromosomal region 1q21, where several other genes related to epidermal differentiation also map.

In this study, the researchers identified LHX2 as a specific marker for hair follicle placodes, differentiating them from eccrine sweat gland placodes through double immunofluorescence staining.

This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.

This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

This study revealed that human keratin-associated protein genes are expressed in specific patterns in hair fiber regions and vary in size, with some variations distinct across different populations.

The method effectively analyzes human hair proteins, especially nonfilamentous ones.

This study found that among the two highly homologous K16 genes on chromosome 17, only one produced a functional protein due to stronger promoter activity.

This study identified KLHL24 as a new gene linked to a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, highlighting its role in unresolved cases by involving a degradation-resistant truncated protein impacting keratin turnover.

This study found that the HS III element in the K14 gene's regulatory sequence promotes gene expression in inner root sheath keratinocytes, highlighting cooperative interactions in keratinocyte-specific gene regulation.

This study suggests that Keratin 6hf may be a potential marker of oral squamous cell carcinoma and could play a role in its progression, though further research is needed to understand its function.

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.

This study identified a novel gene, hacl-1, that is specifically expressed in the hair follicles of ICR mouse skin and is associated with their active state.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.
