The human body has many amazing qualities and so many of them are made up of small proteins. Keratin is the main component of your hair, skin, and nails. Integrin acts a sort of messenger. Cadherin acts a binder, creating the structure of cells. So many different proteins help make the world turn waiting the human body, but they do different things. These are three important proteins.
Keratin to is very important to the human body. Keratin is a big factor in making up your hair, nails, and skin. In fact, your hair is 95% keratin This protein works inside and out of the body protecting the cuticle in hair. Another thing Keratin does is help the growth of cells that may have been damaged. Keratin will create a rough bubble on the surface of your skin called a callous if it is exposed to amounts of rubbing. Keratin is also what makes your skin waterproof. The reason keratin is so strong is …show more content…
They are known as “transmembrane receptors” meaning they receive messages for the cell and then transfer them to the inside of the cell, kind of like a bridge from one cell to to another and one cell to the ECM (Extracurricular Matrix). It's difficult to get a clear photo of an integrin but it's been thought to be a large structure. A discovery in 2001 proved integrin to resemble that of an inverted ‘V’. This is thought to be for the purpose of keeping the cell membrane closer to where the Logan's are bound.
Cadherin is an adhesive protein important for cells maintaining its structure. Cadherin can be found in vertebrates, invests, and nematodes. Cadherins have an intercellular into and an outer cellular unit. Within the cell the intercellular unto of the cadherin bonds to the inside of the cell. On the outside of one cell the outer cellular unit bind together with the outer cellular unit of cadherin of another cell. This holds the cells together creating a
