– As a preliminary study the keratin proteins of human oral stratified epithelia from buccal mucosa and hard palate were investigated using SDS‐PAGE technique. The keratinized hard palate consistently showed six polypeptides varying in molecular weight from 47 to 67 k daltons, whereas the nonkeratinized buccal epithelium lacked the larger polypeptides and showed three polypeptides with molecular weight from 50 to 56 k daltons. The individual variations in the SDS‐gel pattern from eight clinically normal individuals were restricted to minor quantitative differences.
