## Abstract Beta (Ξ²) keratins are present only in the avian and reptilian epidermises. Although much is known about the biochemistry and molecular biology of the Ξ² keratins in birds, little is known for reptiles. In this study we have examined the distribution of Ξ² keratins in the adult epidermis o

## Abstract Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of three Ξ²βkeratins of Nile crocodile scales are presented. Using 5β²β and 3β²βRACE analysis, two cDNA sequences of 1βkb (Crβgptrpβ1) and 1.5βkb (Crβgptrpβ2) were determined, corresponding to 17.4 and 19.3βkDa proteins, respectively, and a pI of
## Abstract We have determined the distribution of alpha and beta keratins in avian scutate scales using SDSβPAGE and indirect immunofluorescence with nonβcrossβreacting rabbit antisera prepared to both alpha and beta keratins. Contrary to previous studies, we find that alpha keratin is definitely
