Structure and functions of keratin proteins in simple, stratified, keratinized and cornified epithelia (2009, background): “…filaments are a crucial component of the so-called cell signalosome, the multifunctional protein complex that is essential for cell development and possibly for the regulation of protein degradation, which translates environmental cues into modifications of gene expression (Herrmann et al. 2007).”
