Keratin expression in human tissues and neoplasms Keratin filaments constitute type I and
type II intermediate filaments (IFs), with at least 20 subtypes named keratin 1–20. Since …

Keratins are the major structural proteins of the vertebrate epidermis and its appendages,
constituting up to 85% of a fully differentiated keratinocyte. Together with actin …

The amino acid sequences deduced from cDNA clones of human lamin A and lamin C show
identity between these two lamins except for an extra 9.0-kDa carboxyl-terminal tail that is …

The dopamine D2 receptor has been extensively studied in relation to alcoholism,
substance abuse, and nicotine dependence. The most frequently examined polymorphism …

Abstract The A, B and C lamins are the major proteins of the nuclear envelope. The
complete nucleotide sequence of the coding region of the A and C lamins shows that these …

Commitment of the pulmonary epithelium to bronchial and bronchiolar airway lineages
occurs during the transition from pseudoglandular to cannalicular phases of lung …

Previously we demonstrated that transgenic mice expressing mutant basal epidermal keratin
genes exhibited a phenotype resembling a group of autosomal dominant human skin …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are cytoskeletal polymers whose protein constituents are
encoded by a large family of differentially expressed genes. Owing in part to their properties …

In the course of immunohistochemical studies it has become apparent that there is a distinct
phenotype of keratin expression that is shared by basal epithelial cells in a variety of …

The skin is the largest organ system of the body. It consists of an epithelial layer (epidermis),
a connective tissue layer (dermis), and an adipose layer (hypodermis). Its overall function is …
