This study identified distinct gene expression programs in keratinocytes responsible for forming hard scales and soft interscale epidermis in chickens, revealing conserved differentiation genes similar to those in human skin.

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

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

This study suggests that keratin 9 expression in nonpalmoplantar keratinocytes can be induced by signals from palmoplantar fibroblasts, potentially enabling the use of nonpalmoplantar epidermis to treat palmoplantar wounds.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.

This abstract reviews the role of the human KRT 16 wild-type allele in skin and hair development and its association with certain genetic skin disorders, without presenting new findings.

This study suggests that a newly identified KRT 71 gene variant may be responsible for curly hair in Curly Coated Retrievers and potentially contributes to follicular dysplasia.

This study identified polymorphisms in HGT-KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 genes in Argentine llamas that may impact fiber characteristics by altering amino acid residues critical for keratin-associated protein properties.

A rare genetic deletion in the KRT1 gene causes unique skin symptoms in a family.

This study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.

Krt6a-Cre transgenic mice help study gene effects on hair follicle development and tumor suppression.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This study suggests that dsRNA may enhance KRT9 expression in palm and sole skin through β-catenin signaling, potentially linking mechanical damage to specific skin features and certain skin conditions.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

In this study, researchers identified the c.296C>T (p.T99I) variant in the KRT32 gene, which co-segregates with loose anagen hair syndrome, and found it decreases binding affinity to KRT82, potentially weakening hair anchorage.

This study demonstrates that Krt15 marks long-lived, multipotent, and injury-resistant crypt cells in the small intestine, which may serve as the cell of origin in intestinal cancer.

This study identified a radio-resistant population of Krt15+ stem cells in the mouse small intestine that can initiate tumors, suggesting potential targets for colon cancer therapy.

This article presents a family case study of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis linked to a specific KRT14 gene variant, detailing symptoms and stressing the importance of molecular diagnosis for management.

This study found that hepatic KRT79 expression is regulated by PPARA and is significantly associated with liver stress, suggesting it may serve as a diagnostic marker for liver diseases.

This study reported the creation of isogenic immortalized COL7A1-deficient keratinocyte lines, providing a model for researching Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa biology and potential therapies.

Type I keratin genes are closely linked to the rex locus on mouse chromosome 11, affecting hair development.

This study found that mutations in type I IRS keratin genes disrupt keratin protein complexes in mice, suggesting crucial roles for these genes in proper hair coat formation.
