Notes:
Evidence is given for the progress in hair keratin research by bringing out four examples from the recent hair science literature.〈list style="custom"〉1Kon et al. [1] published a new method of solubilization and fractionation of the matrix and the microfibril proteins and found a significant decrease in the ‘intact’ microfibril keratin at the tip end of permed hair.2Contrary to the previous view of the existence of four major and one minor hair keratin pair, Langbein et al. [2, 3] showed that there are nine type I hair keratins and six type II hair keratins and drew up a two-dimensional catalogue of human hair keratins.3To collectively describe the extremely complex expression pattern of human type I and type II hair keratins in the hair follicle, Langbein et al. [2, 3] have summarized the corresponding RNA expression profiles of the various hair keratins schematically.4Contrary to the previous assignment of keratins exclusively to the microfibrils in the cortex, the mRNA expression studies of Langbein et al. [2, 3] implied that any hair cuticle cell leaving the living cell compartment contains four different hair keratins.
