Cornified Epithelial Teeth of Jawless Vertebrates Contain Proteins Similar to Keratin-Associated Proteins of Mammalian Skin Appendages

Keratins and keratin-associated proteins (KRTAPs) are the main components of mammalian nails and hair. Comparative genomics and gene expression studies have revealed that keratins are conserved in all vertebrates, whereas KRTAPs exist only in mammals. Recently, we found hair keratin-like cysteine-ri...
