Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and biochemistry of mammalian hard keratin.
TL;DR: The structure and biological formation of hard alpha-keratin are drawn together and keratinized fibres shows considerable complexity and diversity in the structural arrangement of IFs and matrix within cortical cells.
Book ChapterDOI
The structure and chemistry of keratin fibers.
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the chemistry and structure of keratin fibers and reviews the mode of biosynthesis of the extremely heterogeneous families of proteins in the hair follicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pelage and Molting in Wild Mammals with Special Reference to Aquatic Forms
TL;DR: The pelage cycle must be regarded from the point of view of the whole process of follicular activity and fiber production, rather than simply the externally visible molt, if that unique mammalian characteristic, hair, is to be understood in its true biological perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet and habitat selection of the leopard cat ( Prionailurus bengalensis borneoensis ) in an agricultural landscape in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo
TL;DR: It is suggested that the significantly higher use of oil palm by leopard cats is related to their preference for areas with high prey ‘catchability’ rather than high prey density.
Journal ArticleDOI
The keratinization of epidermal scales, feathers and hairs.
TL;DR: Keratinization involves two quite separate processes: the synthesis of keratin fibrous protein, resistant to proteolytic enzymes, and the enzymic cytolysis of most of the non-keratin components of the cell, which largely determines the type of horny cell formed.
