Both keratin and collagen are biological structural elements, They are proteins that provide special properties combining strength and stability to the cells. These proteins are largely insoluble in water and generally elongated.

Is it true during fibrosis fibroblasts in the granulation tissue lays down keratin fibers?
No. The answer is collagen fibers not keratin fibers.
Name two types of structural proteins in your body?
Structural proteins are fibrous. Some examples of these are: skin, fur, hair, wool, claws, nails, hooves, horns, scales, beaks and feathers.
What protein is insoluble in water?
One example of a protein that is insoluble in water is collagen, which is a structural protein found in connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and bones. Collagen's insolubility in water is due to its triple helix structure and the presence of hydrophobic amino acid residues in its composition.
The tough protective protein found in the epidermal cells is called?
Keratin
What protein is responsible for nail hardness?

A hard protein material found in the epidermis?
skin's most apical layer is full of keratin the tight jxn's holding the stratified squamous epithelium together use claudin and occludin there are a few more cellular jxn's that use other proteins as well there is type IV collagen laminin and proteoglycans in the basal lamina under the epitheluim then there is LOTS more collagen in the loose and dense connective tissue underneath. hope that helps!
What are examples of fibrous structural proteins?
one of protein classes, it contain polypeptide chains that are organized approximately parallel along a single axis.Fibrous protein was a long fibers(large sheets), insoluble in water, also insoluble in dilute salt solutions, it strong, and important in nature.such as eg is keratin : hair and woolandcollagen of connective tissues : cartilage , skin and so on
