Summary Introduction
To determine:
The pathological consequences produced as a result of a hereditary defect in keratin.
Introduction:
Keratin is known as the fibrous structural protein. It is present in the hair, skin, and nails. It has a protective function as it is less susceptible to scratching and tearing. It is also present in the lining of internal organs and glands.

- Collagenopathies, conditions characterized by the production of one or more types of defective collagen proteins, are in a group of disorders called connective tissue diseases. Many collagenopathies feature arthritis or other joint problems as part of the symptoms of the disorder. Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individual's joints?arrow_forwardFibroblasts are motile cells that “creep” about in the connective tissue of the body where they play a number of roles, including secretion of the extracellular matrix and initiating certain wound healing events. These cells do not usually have microvilli nor do they express the actin-binding protein villin; both of these properties are characteristic of certain epithelial cells, such as those lining the intestine and kidneys. Remarkably enough, however, if one artificially engineers fibroblast cells to produce the villin protein, microvilli form on the fibroblasts. Given what you know about the function of villin, why might this striking change in cell morphology occur?arrow_forwardStraight hair can be curled and curly hair can be straightened by exposing wet hair to a reducing agent, repositioning the hair with rollers, then exposing the hair to an oxidizing agent. Explain how this procedure alters the shape of the hair.arrow_forward

Thank you.arrow_forwardCollagen is the main protein component of the ECM. The process of collagen synthesis is complex and it occurs intra- and extra-cellularly involving different organelles.
