Momma yenni kan nhwɛ nea keratin yɛ.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, keratin yɛ protein soronko bi a ɛwɔ yɛn nipadua mu. Ɛte sɛ nneɛma a ɛkyekyere yɛn nipadua. Saa keratin protein yi ne nea ɛboa titiriw ma wo ti nhwi, wo nnadewa, ne wo honam ani fã a ɛwɔ akyi paa (epidermis) no yɛ kɛse.

Ɛbɛdaa adi sɛ keratin ahorow bɛyɛ 54 na ɛwɔ yɛn nipadua mu! Nanso enhia sɛ yɛkɔ akyiri saa. Nneɛma abien titiriw na ɛwɔ hɔ:

Susuw ho hwɛ, protein a ɛho hia bɛn ara ni!

Dɛn na keratin yɛ yɛn nipadua? Sɛ yɛbɛka no pɛpɛɛpɛ a...

Keratin nyɛ protein kɛkɛ. Ɛma yɛn nipadua ahoɔden ne ahobammɔ kɛse. Sɛ́ ebia wo ti nhwi yɛ papa, wo nnadewa yɛ fɛ na ɛyɛ den, na wo honam ani hyerɛn na ɛyɛ papa no gyina keratin dodow a ɛwɔ wo nipadua mu so tẽẽ. Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko, na mmom ntini ne akwaa bi a ɛwɔ yɛn nipadua mu nso wɔ keratin.

Keratin Nwi Ho Ayaresa

Eyi yɛ obi ankasa gyinaesi koraa. Saa ayaresa yi bɛma wo ti nhwi ayɛ hyew, ayɛ silika, na ayɛ mmerɛw, na ɛbɛma wo ti nhwi ayɛ mmerɛw nso. Nanso, mpɛn pii no, saa ayaresa yi bo yɛ den kakra, na ɛtɔ mmere bi a ebetumi anya wo nipadua so nkɛntɛnso bɔne. Yɛbɛka saa asɛm no ho asɛm akyiri yi.

Saa keratin ti nhwi ayaresa yi yɛ nnuru a wɔde sa protein. Nnipa binom nso frɛ wɔn ``Brazilian blowouts''. Wɔtaa yɛ eyi wɔ salon te sɛ eyi mu:

Ɛhe bio na wohu keratin wɔ yɛn nipadua mu?

Sɛnea yɛadi kan aka no, keratin wɔ wo ti nhwi, wo nnadewa, ne wo honam ani fã a ɛwɔ akyi paa no mu titiriw. Nanso, ntini ne akwaa bi a ɛwɔ yɛn nipadua mu nso wɔ keratin kakraa bi.

Keratin te sɛn na ne kɔla te dɛn?

Ɛyɛ den sɛ wɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ keratin mu wɔ ɔkwan biako so, efisɛ wobetumi akyekyɛ mu sɛ alpha-keratins ne beta-keratins, a egyina ɔkwan a wɔfa so hyehyɛ ne polypeptide nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn (kyerɛ sɛ, amino acid ahorow a ɛtoatoa so a wɔde peptide nkitahodi abɔ mu) no so.

Afei, sɛ yɛka kɔla ho asɛm a, nhwi ne keratin a ɛwɔ mu no kura aduru bi a wɔfrɛ no melanin . Nkwammoaa titiriw bi a wɔfrɛ no melanocytes na ɛyɛ saa melanin yi.

Melanocytes yɛ melanin ahorow abien, na abien no nyinaa na ɛkyerɛ wo honam ani kɔla nyinaa:

• Pheomelanin: Saa melanin yi ma kɔla pink anaa kɔkɔɔ ba wo nipadua so titiriw (anofafa, nufu, ɔbea awotwaa , glans penis, ne ti nhwi).

Bere a worenyin no, saa aduru yi dodow a ɛwɔ keratin a ɛwɔ wo ti nhwi mu no so tew. Ne saa nti, wo ti nhwi dan fitaa nkakrankakra na awiei koraa no ɛdan fitaa.

Dɛn na wɔde yɛ keratin?

Keratin nyɛ ade biako pɛ. Ɛyɛ protein ahorow pii a wɔaboaboa ano. Ɛne sɛ, keratin ahorow, protein ahorow a ɛne keratin wɔ abusuabɔ (KFAPs), ne enzymes a wonya fi mmoa ntini mu.Eyi ka nneɛma te sɛ ``(enzymes)`` ho.

So keratin a wɔde sa ti nhwi betumi ama ti nhwi atɔ? So asiane ahorow bi wɔ hɔ?

Ɛwom sɛ ɛnyɛ bere nyinaa na eyi ba de, nanso ɛtɔ mmere bi a keratin a wɔde sa ti nhwi no betumi asɛe ti nhwi na ama ti nhwi atɔ.
