Difference between Keratin and Nail (anatomy)

Keratin vs. Nail (anatomy)

Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins. A nail is a horn-like envelope covering the tips of the fingers and toes in most primates and a few other mammals.

Alpha-keratin

Alpha-keratin, or α-keratin, is a type of keratin found in mammals. This protein is the primary component in hairs, horns, nails and the epidermis layer of the skin.

Claw

A claw is a curved, pointed appendage, found at the end of a toe or finger in most amniotes (mammals, reptiles, birds).

Dermatophyte

Dermatophytes (derived from Greek "δέρματος" (dermatos), from "δέρμα", which means "skin" and -"phyte", from "phutón", meaning "plant") are a common label for a group of three types of fungus that commonly causes skin disease in animals and humans.

Mammal

Mammals are the vertebrates within the class Mammalia (from Latin mamma "breast"), a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from reptiles (including birds) by the possession of a neocortex (a region of the brain), hair, three middle ear bones, and mammary glands.
