Beta-keratin 75-80% of the amino acids in silk, another 10-15% is serine and the final 10% contain bulky side chains such as in tyr, arg, val, asp, and glu. Beta-keratin β-keratin or beta-keratin is a member of a structural protein family found in the epidermis of reptiles and birds . β-keratins were named so because they are components of epidermal stratum corneum rich in stacked β pleated sheets, in contrast to alpha-keratins, intermediate-filament proteins also found in stratum corneum and rich in alpha helices. Because the accurate use of the term "keratin" is limited to the alpha-keratins, the term "beta-keratins" in
Myosin light chain nodes to migrate into inflammatory sites in an S1PR1-dependent manner." The proposed mechanisms of action of CD69/Myl9/12 system are related to the regulation of airway inflammatory processes and thus can prove to be a novel therapeutic target for chronic inflammatory diseases, in general . Myosin light chain A myosin light chain is a light chain (small polypeptide subunit) of myosin. Myosin light chains were discovered by Chinese biochemist Cao Tianqin (Tien-chin Tsao) when he was a graduate student at the University of Cambridge in England. Structurally, myosin light chains belong to the EF-hand family, a large family of Ca- binding
