overview
Fibrin produced by animal epithelial cells. It is the main component of hair, feathers, horns, nails, hooves, silk, etc., and has a protective effect on animals. It can be divided into two categories: one is α-keratin, such as hair, horn, nail, hoof, etc., which is rich in cystine in the molecule; The other type is β-keratin, such as silk heart, which does not contain cystine and cysteine in the molecule, but is high in glycine, alanine and serine. The chemical properties are extremely stable, the content of disulfide bonds is particularly large, and it is insoluble in water, salt solution, dilute acid and dilute alkali solution under general conditions, but it can be soluble in inorganic sulfide solution. Wool and silk, which are mainly composed of keratin, are extremely important textile raw materials. The silk heart protein in silk is keratin, accounting for 70~75% of silk, which is the insoluble part of silk, and its outer layer is coated with sericin (globulin) accounting for about 22~24%, which is not filamentous and can be dissolved in hot chemical water.
use
Keratin contains some short peptide sequences that have cell adhesion properties. The commercial potential of keratin-based biomaterials in biomedical applications is commonly used in the manufacture of biofilms, food, cosmetics, Chemicalbook sponge injectable gels, and drug delivery. Keratin is widely used as a variety of biomaterials due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and ability to promote cell attachment and proliferation.
