Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.

Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.

There are two types of stem cells in rodent hair follicles, each with different keratin proteins.

Keratin 15 expression in skin cells is regulated by two mechanisms involving PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1.

Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.

Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.

Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.

Keratin from hair binds well to gold and BMP-2, useful for bone repair.

The protein p53 directly reduces the production of Keratin 17, a skin and hair protein, in rats with radiation dermatitis.

Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.

The transition from growth to regression in Cashmere goat hair follicles involves changes in expression of genes related to keratin and cell differentiation.
