Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

  • Keratinization is associated with the expression of a new protein related to the desmosomal cadherins DGII/III.
  • When the direction or speed of the initial keratinization is in a certain range, the structure may be destructed and absorbed immediately.
  • In some cases, partial keratinization is known to occur in some fishes.
  • Extensive keratinization is very rare,3 and to our knowledge, no case associated with endometrial malignancy has been reported previously.
  • Note that the keratinization is fairly heavy in this part of the forestomach; it becomes less so in the deeper parts, but nevertheless keratinization is a feature of the reticulum and the omasum as well.
