Fig. 6. KRT82 is expressed exclusively in anagen.

Fig. 6

a IF of KRT82 (green) in postnatal (p) mouse skin. Mouse HFs are in telogen at postnatal days 22 and 90 (p22, p90), in anagen at p31, and catagen at p43. Cuticular staining of KRT82 is only observed in the p31 (anagen) HF. White dashed line outlines the hair shaft cuticle. Weak staining observed in mouse epidermis may be a result of green autofluorescent properties of skin epidermal cells. IF staining was repeated at 3 other anagen timepoints and 2 additional telogen timepoints with similar results. b Western blot analysis of whole mouse skin at varying stages of the hair cycle shows that keratin protein is only present in the anagen phase (p31) of the mouse hair cycle. Western blot was repeated with similar results 2 additional times. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
