This study found that K6a expression in mouse sebaceous gland ducts correlates with Hedgehog signaling, suggesting a role in duct fate.

This study found that regulatory sequences crucial for inducing K6a expression in response to epidermal injury are located in specific upstream regions of the K6a gene in transgenic mice.

This study found that KRT6A expression increases after epidermal barrier disruption, worsening skin inflammation in disease conditions, and suggests that targeting KRT6A could offer a new treatment approach for inflammatory skin diseases linked to epidermal dysfunction.

This study revealed that frizzled 3 can fully rescue polarity defects in frizzled 6-null mice, while frizzled 6 can partially rescue defects in frizzled 3-null mice, highlighting conserved signaling roles in these proteins.

This study found that Hex gene expression patterns in chick embryo dorsal skin during feather bud development suggest a significant role in initiating feather morphogenesis.

This study demonstrates that overexpression of K16 in transgenic mice disrupts normal keratinization, leading to hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and alterations in the skin's epithelial cells.

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 αvβ6 integrin inhibits keratinocyte proliferation during wound healing and hair regeneration, suggesting its downregulation may enhance recovery and influence epidermal stem cell behavior.

This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

This study found that the RNA helicase DDX6 is essential for maintaining self-renewal in epidermal progenitor cells by promoting the translation of proliferation regulators and degrading differentiation-inducing mRNAs.

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 study demonstrated that a specific 9-kbp fragment of the bovine keratin 6 gene effectively directs tissue-specific and inducible expression in transgenic mice, suggesting potential applications for targeted gene therapy in hyperproliferative skin conditions.

This study indicates that the Sp6 gene is crucial for the development of skin, teeth, limbs, and lungs in mice, possibly through regulating apoptosis.

This study found that expression of certain mutant keratin genes in mice led to severe alopecia, suggesting a similar mechanism could cause hair loss in humans.

This study found that activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in mouse testes promotes spermatogonial differentiation and reduces the stem cell pool, with SHISA6 inhibiting this process and maintaining stem cell characteristics.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

This study describes a Japanese family with monilethrix and found no clear genotype/phenotype correlation in cases with the E413K mutation in hHb6.

This study found that Frizzled genes Fzd3 and Fzd6 are redundantly involved in controlling hair follicle polarity in mice, but operate through distinct mechanisms, highlighting their complex role in hair orientation.

This study on Sdr16c5/Sdr16c6-null mice found that inactivating these genes significantly increased Meibomian gland secretions and altered lipid profiles but had a subtle impact on sebogenesis, suggesting the genes control a bifurcation point in meibogenesis pathways.

This case report describes a 6.5-year-old girl with a balanced chromosome translocation involving chromosomes 1 and 6, linked to developmental speech delay and features suggestive of ectodermal dysplasia.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

In this study, IL-6 expression in transgenic mice thickened the stratum corneum without causing increased epidermal proliferation or inflammation, suggesting it may enhance skin protection rather than directly induce inflammation.

This study found that epithelial keratin K 6 is associated with hyperkeratotic and ulcerated changes in the gastric pars oesophagea of pigs, suggesting epithelial proliferation plays a role in ulcer development.

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

This study used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the structural mechanisms by which TRPV6 and TRPV3 ion channels open, close, and are regulated, providing insights for potential future research.
