Structural heterogeneity of cellular K5/K14 filaments as revealed by cryo-electron microscopy

Keratin intermediate filaments are an essential and major component of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. They form a stable yet dynamic filamentous network extending from the nucleus to the cell periphery, which provides resistance to mechanical stresses. Mutations in keratin genes are related t...
