Disease relevance of KRT1

 

Psychiatry related information on KRT1

  • At high temperatures (150 degrees C), 80% of feather keratin was solubilized within 25min, whereas a relatively longer reaction time (300min) is needed at moderate temperatures (100 degrees C) [6].
 

High impact information on KRT1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of KRT1

  • In rumen fluid, ammonia production from soluble keratin was similar to that of soybean and cottonseed meals and was greatly less than that of urea, indicating that no ammonia toxicity will result from cattle being fed soluble keratin [6].
 

Biological context of KRT1

  • Mapping of the intron positions by the S1 nuclease technique and sequencing of some exon-intron boundaries has revealed that some of the introns of all four keratin genes have similar positions to each other and to those of the hamster vimentin gene.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[10]
  • The gene coding for keratin VIb, a representative of the acidic (type I) subfamily, contains seven introns, and the size pattern of its five innermost exons closely resembles that of the genes of the type II keratins [10].
  • To delimit the regions containing these regulatory elements, different parts of the bovine keratin 6 gene linked to a beta-galactosidase reporter gene have been assayed in transgenic mice [11].
  • When the human 40-kDa keratin amino acid sequence is compared to the corresponding bovine keratin, the overall identity is 89% [12].
  • These data indicate that, as far as keratin synthesis is concerned, cultured urothelial cells undergo an altered pattern of differentiation towards a more 'stratified phenotype'; this unusual finding has interesting implications for urothelial evolution [13].
