| | Keratin in a frog's skin: how Chytrid fungus spreads |
 | | Frogs only have keratin in the parts of their body that get exposed to wear and tear - such as their hands and feet, and the places where their legs rub against their bodies. | | | If their skin was full of keratin, they wouldn't be able to do this. | | | As they develop into frogs, they grow keratin in other parts of their bodies (see the picture above). |

| | Chemical treatments using hydrolyzed keratin from waste wool or down are effective for enhancing the tensile properties of bast fibers. | | | The tensile properties of keratin-treated bast fibers are listed in Table I. Jute fibers were treated with a 10% keratin solution from down, and the fibers from Japanese wisteria were treated with a 55% keratin solution from wool. | | | Textile Research Journal, Feb 2004 by Kawahara, Yutaka, Endo, Rie, Kimura, Teruo |

| | clinical information for the Human Intermediate Filament Mutation Database |
| | Mutations have been identified in differentiation-specific keratins, which are expressed in the particular epithelia affected in each type of PC. | | | There are several affected members in this family, including individuals in the seventh decade of life, so that the phenotype would appear to be less severe in humans. | | | Given the tissue specific expression pattern of human keratins it is unsurprising that diseases have been identified in epithelial tissues outside of the epidermis and its appendages. |

| | Keratin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Cells in the epidermis contain a structural matrix of keratin which makes this outermost layer of the skin almost waterproof, and along with collagen and elastin, gives skin its strength. | | | Some infectious fungi, such as those which cause athlete's foot and ringworm, feed on keratin. | | | These hard, integumentary structures are formed by intercellular cementing of fibers formed from the dead, cornified cells generated by specialized beds deep within the skin. |

| | Keratin and Pyramiding |
| | It's like human finger- and toenails, but while ours generates from a root at the first joint of our digits and grows outward, the keratin on a turtle/tortoise grows concentrically and is very soft until it hardens upon exposure to air. | | | The Malphigian cells are responsible for the production of keratin and lie under the scutes, the turtle's "skin" (its pattern on the carapace). | | | Growth varies, so determining their age by the annuli doesn't work. |
