This study identified the distribution of keratin-associated proteins during cornification in the epidermis of reptiles, revealing unique structural characteristics in sauropsid keratin proteins compared to other vertebrates.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

In this study, researchers discussed how specific protein interactions in reptile skin allow for the development of protective structures like scales and scutes, which facilitated reptiles' adaptation to terrestrial environments.
