''Keratin'' proteins are expressed in epithelial cells and in epidermal cells and have a filamentous structure. They assemble to form cytoskeletal structures within the cell and epidermal derivatives such as hair and nails. | |||

The protein chains in Keratin can bind to each other through covalent bonds (disulfide bonds between two cysteines), ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonds. Since the cysteines in this molecule are too far apart to bond covalently, ionic bonds, or salt bridges, form between the two chains. | |||
