摘要：
When the first nomenclature of the keratin protein family was published over 20 years ago, only 19 keratins were thought to exist. Sequencing of the human genome has now revealed that there are 54 keratin genes. As a consequence, the nomenclature needed revision to apply a logical numbering system that includes the more recently identified keratins of the hair follicle.
