Keratin monomers assemble into bundles to form intermediate filaments, which are tough and form strong unmineralized epidermal appendages found in reptiles, birds, amphibians, and …

2016年3月1日 · Keratins can be classified as α- and β-types. Both show a characteristic filament-matrix structure: 7 nm diameter intermediate filaments for α-keratin, and 3 nm diameter …

Recently, new functions of keratins and keratin filaments in cell signaling and intracellular vesicle transport have been discovered. It is currently understood that all stratified epithelia are …

Keratin is a biocompatible and biodegradable fibrous protein found profusely in filamentous structures such as horns, wool, nails and hair. Its structure is illustrated in Fig. 17. Keratin, in …

1996年7月1日 · Formation of keratin filaments requires both type I and type lI monomers. Although many combinations of type I and type II keratins can copolymerize in vitro's keratins …

Keratin monomers package into intermediate filaments that are durable and form heavy unmineralized epidermal appendages in birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians. Chitin is …

2012年4月3日 · Here, we review selected keratin-based materials, such as skin, hair, wool, quill, horn, hoof, feather, and beak, focusing on the structure–mechanical property-function …

Keratin is packed by disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds. Based on the secondary structure, keratin can be classified into α-keratin and β-keratin. Keratinases (EC 3.4.-.- peptide …

2013年9月5日 · Keratin monomers consist of central α-helical rod domains of similar substructure (≈310 amino acids) and two disordered (unstructured) glycine-rich N- and C-terminal domains …

2020年3月3日 · Keratin Intermediate Filament Assembly and Cellular Dynamics. 1) After being translated, the individual keratin monomer (IF Type 1/2) is bound to corresponding membrane …
