Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 2005 Hair keratin-associated proteins (KAP) are a major component of the hair fiber, and play crucial roles in forming a strong hair shaft through a cross-linked network with keratin intermediate filaments (KIF), which are produced from hair keratins. Recently, the study of human KAP has advanced significantly.

Characterization of Human Keratin-Associated Protein 1 Family Members [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 2003 Keratin-associated proteins are involved in the formation of the cross-linked network of the keratin-intermediate filament proteins that support hair fibers. In recent years, several keratin-associated protein genes have been identified and become an attractive topic in hair research.

Understanding the dynamics of keratin weakening and hydrolysis by proteases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Keratin is the structural protein in hair, nails, feathers and horns. Keratin is recalcitrant, highly disulfide bonded and is generally inaccessible to common proteases.

Deacetylation via SIRT2 prevents keratin-mutation-associated injury and keratin aggregation
JCI Insight, 2023 Keratin (K) and other intermediate filament (IF) protein mutations at conserved arginines disrupt keratin filaments into aggregates and cause human epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS; K14-R125C) or predispose to mouse liver injury (K18-R90C).

Characterization of the Human Hair Keratin–Associated Protein 2 (KRTAP2) Gene Family [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2012 Hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAPs) are one of the major structural components of the hair shaft. Approximately 100 KRTAP genes have been identified in humans to date, with each of the genes classified into a number of families based on their sequence homology and the nature of the repeat structures.

Cortical tension regulates desmosomal morphogenesis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Mechanical stability is a fundamental and essential property of epithelial cell sheets. It is in large part determined by cell-cell adhesion sites that are tightly integrated by the cortical cytoskeleton.

Emerging issues with the current keratin-associated protein nomenclature
International Journal of Trichology, 2010 Keratin associated proteins (KAPs) are a class of proteins that associate with keratin intermediate filament proteins through disulphide linkages to give fibres such as hair and wool their unique properties. Up to 90 proteins from some 25 families have been identified and this does not include polymorphic variants of individual proteins within these ...
