Summary

Description
English: The hierarchical structure of hair in the cortex and cuticle. The main component of the cortex is a keratin coiled-coil protein phase. The proteins form intermediate filaments, which then organize into larger and larger fibres. The hair is surrounded by the cuticle, a dead cell layer. The common features observed in the X-ray data of all specimens are signals related to the coiled-coil keratin phase and the formation of intermediate filaments in the cortex, and the cell membrane complex. Signal assignment and corresponding length scales are shown in the figure.

日本語: 毛髪の階層構造は、皮質とキューティクルで構成されている。皮質の主成分はケラチンのコイルドコイルタンパク質相である。このタンパク質は中間径フィラメントを形成し、その後、ますます大きなフィブリルに組織化される。毛髪はキューティクル(死んだ細胞層)に囲まれている。すべての標本のX線データで観察される共通の特徴は、コイルドコイルケラチン相と皮質における中間径フィラメントの形成、および細胞膜複合体に関連する信号である。信号の割り当てと対応する長さの目盛を図に示す。
