Abstract excerpt
Keratins comprise a multigene family of structural proteins that form the 10-nm filaments present in epithelial cells. Keratin filament formation requires the presence of stoichiometric quantities of type I and type II keratin peptides. Each keratin peptide contains an N-terminal "head" segment, a C-terminal "tail" segment, and a highly conserved, alpha-helical central rod domain. To investigate the importance of...
