Keratin is the name given to a large family of homologous proteins that have a filamentous (fibrous) structure. These proteins are expressed in epithelial cells and in epidermal cells where they are assembled forming cytoskeletal structures within the cell and epidermal derivatives such as hair, nail and horn <ref>PMID:18461349</ref>.
