KAP9.2 Hoxc13 qRT-PCR hair follicle gene expression cashmere growth fiber development quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction

TLDR KAP9.2 and Hoxc13 genes are important for cashmere growth and vary in activity during different stages.

The study analyzed the expression of KAP9.2 and Hoxc13 genes during different stages of cashmere growth using the qRT-PCR method. The results indicated that both genes played significant roles in the development and growth of cashmere fibers. The expression patterns of these genes varied across different growth stages, suggesting their involvement in the regulation of hair follicle activity and cashmere production. This research provided insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying cashmere growth, which could potentially inform breeding strategies for improved fiber quality.
