Research cited in this study
12 / 12 resultsresearch Characterization of Human KAP24.1, A Cuticular Hair Keratin-Associated Protein with Unusual Amino Acid Composition and Repeat Structure
This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.
research Expression of Novel Keratin-Associated Protein 5 Genes in the Cuticle Layer of Human Hair Follicles
This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.
research Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle
More research is needed to understand how hair keratins work and their role in hair disorders.
research Identification of Two Novel Clusters of Ultrahigh-Sulfur Keratin-Associated Protein Genes on Human Chromosome 11
In this study, two novel clusters of keratin-associated protein genes on human chromosome 11 were analyzed, suggesting their products are crucial for hair formation due to preferential expression in hair roots.
research A Cluster of 21 Keratin-Associated Protein Genes Within Introns of Another Gene on Human Chromosome 21q22.3
In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.
research Hair Follicle Differentiation And Regulation
This review discusses advances in understanding hair and hair follicle structure, gene expression, and molecular signals in hair formation, without reporting new clinical findings.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 21 in Fond Memory of Dr. Peter Steinert
This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.
research Characterization of a First Domain of Human High Glycine-Tyrosine and High Sulfur Keratin-Associated Protein Genes on Chromosome 21q22.1
This study identified a domain on human chromosome 21q22.1 containing various high glycine-tyrosine and high sulfur keratin-associated protein genes, revealing their diverse expression in hair-forming cells.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-Associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.
research The Role of Keratin Proteins and Their Genes in the Growth, Structure, and Properties of Hair
This article integrates existing literature on hair follicle structure and formation at the cellular and molecular level, reporting no new findings.
research Structure and Expression of Genes for a Class of Cysteine-Rich Proteins of the Cuticle Layers of Differentiating Wool and Hair Follicles
This study identified two evolutionarily conserved ultra-high-sulfur keratin proteins in human and sheep hair follicles, which are specifically expressed in the hair cuticle during the late stages of fiber development.
