Human Hair Keratin‐Associated Proteins (KAPs)

International Review of Cytology, 2006
Elucidation of the genes encoding structural proteins of the human hair follicle has advanced rapidly during the last decade, complementing nearly three previous decades of research on this subject in other species. Primary among these advances was both the characterization of human hair keratins, as well as the hair keratin associated proteins (KAPs).

Characterization and expression analysis of the hair keratin associated protein KAP26.1

British Journal of Dermatology, 2008
Human hair follicle keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) comprise a large multigene family of proteins thought to be responsible for the bundling of keratin intermediate filaments. Recently, four new KAP family members KAP24.1, KAP25.1, KAP26.1 and KAP27.1 were identified from the genome, but the expression of only one, KAP24.1, was investigated and ...

Trichocyte Keratin-Associated Proteins (KAPs)

2018
The trichocyte (hard α-) keratins are epidermal appendages (hair, wool, hoof, horn, claw, baleen and quill) with a classic filament-matrix composite structure. In human hair, for example, keratin intermediate filaments (IF) of diameter 7.5 nm are embedded in a matrix formed from at least 89 different types of keratin-associated proteins (KAPs).

Evolution of Trichocyte Keratin Associated Proteins

2018
The major components of hair are keratins and keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs). KRTAPs form the interfilamentous matrix between intermediate filament bundles through extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with the numerous cysteine residues in hair keratins.

Human hair keratin-associated proteins: Sequence regularities and structural implications

Journal of Structural Biology, 2006
In this paper, we undertake a sequence analysis of the human keratin-associated proteins (KAP). This analysis has revealed two fundamental pentapeptide quasi-repeats (A and B) of the form C-C-X-P-X and C-C-X-S/T-S/T, respectively. The A repeats are also commonly found in two subforms A1 and A2, -C-C-Q-P-X and C-C-R-P-X, respectively-similar to those ...

Characterization and polymorphism of Keratin Associated Protein 1.4 gene in goats

Gene, 2013
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are among the main structural components of the animal fibers and form semi-rigid matrix wherein the keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs) are embedded. Variation in the KAP genes has been reported to affect the structure of KAPs and hence fiber characteristics.

Polymorphism of the ovine keratin-associated protein 1-4 gene (KRTAP1-4)

Molecular Biology Reports, 2009
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are one of the main structural components of the wool fibre and form a semi-rigid matrix in which the keratin intermediate filaments are embedded. Variation in the KAP genes may affect the structure of KAPs and hence wool characteristics.
