Keratin Market

Keratin Market: Introduction

• Keratin is a type of fibrous structural protein called scleroprotein. Keratin is used to provide resilience and strength to cells that form the skin, hair, and nails. Few keratins have also been discovered to regulate key cellular activities, including protein synthesis and cell growth.
