The Chemistry of Keratins

Cytokeratin Intermediate filament keratins found in epithelial tissue. There are two types of cytokeratins the acidic type 1 cytokeratins and the basic or neutral type 11 cytokeratins. Cytokeratins are thought to play a role in the activation of plasma prekallikrein and plasminogen. See Crewther, W.G., Fraser, R.D., Lennox, F.G., and Lindley, H., The chemistry of keratins, Adv. Protein Chem. 20, 191-346, 1965 Masri, M.S. and Friedman, M., Interactions of keratins with metal ions uptake profiles, mode of binding, and effects on the properties of wool, Arfv. Exp. Med.

In the interval since the chemistry of keratins was reviewed by Ward and Lundgren (1954) in this series a considerable effort has been made to obtain a better understanding of the exceedingly complex chemical composi-... [Pg.191]
