Abstract

The change in the amino acid composition of skin proteins and hair keratin during ontogeny is studied in silver black and silver foxes. It is established that skin proteins of the foxes are similar in amino acid composition, which depends on age. Hair keratins of these animals are also similar in amino acid composition but depend little on age.
