Journal ArticleDOI

New consensus nomenclature for mammalian keratins

TL;DR: This revised nomenclature accommodates functional genes and pseudogenes, and although designed specifically for the full complement of human keratins, it offers the flexibility needed to incorporate additional keratin proteins from other mammalian species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hormone-sensitive Lipase Deficiency in Mice Causes Diglyceride Accumulation in Adipose Tissue, Muscle, and Testis

TL;DR: In vivo results indicate that HSL is the rate-limiting enzyme for the cellular catabolism of DG in adipose tissue and muscle implying a substrate specificity of the enzyme in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome: novel keratin genes and a surprisingly high number of pseudogenes related to keratin genes 8 and 18.

TL;DR: The limits of the analysis are described, the striking unevenness of pseudogene derivation in the IF multigene family is discussed and the nomenclature of Moll and colleagues is proposed to extend to any novel keratin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and regulatory functions of keratins

TL;DR: The diversity of epithelial functions is reflected by the expression of distinct keratin pairs that are responsible to protect epithelial cells against mechanical stress and to act as signaling platforms, and experimental evidence accumulating in recent years has led to a much more complex view of the keratin cytoskeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI

Keratin-dependent, epithelial resistance to tumor necrosis factor-induced apoptosis.

TL;DR: Moderation of the effects of TNF may be the fundamental function of K8 and K18 common to liver regeneration, inflammatory bowel disease, hepatotoxin sensitivity, and the diagnostic, persistent expression of these keratins in many carcinomas.
