13 / 13 results

research Bidirectional Binding Property of High Glycine–Tyrosine Keratin-Associated Protein Contributes to the Mechanical Strength and Shape of Hair

46 citations , June 2013 in “Journal of structural biology”

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

research Characterization of the Human Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 2 (KRTAP2) Gene Family

52 citations , April 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.

research An Updated Nomenclature for Keratin-Associated Proteins

92 citations , January 2012 in “International Journal of Biological Sciences”

This article proposes an updated naming system for keratin-associated proteins and genes, aiming to improve data storage and retrieval by including species information and genetic variation.

research Expression Patterns of Keratin Intermediate Filament and Keratin Associated Protein Genes in Wool Follicles

95 citations , March 2009 in “Differentiation”

Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.

research Molecular Evolution of the Keratin Associated Protein Gene Family in Mammals: Role in the Evolution of Mammalian Hair

119 citations , August 2008 in “BMC Evolutionary Biology”

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins: Sequence Regularities and Structural Implications

52 citations , May 2006 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.

research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins

226 citations , January 2006 in “International review of cytology”

Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.

research The Role of Keratin Proteins and Their Genes in the Growth, Structure, and Properties of Hair

228 citations , January 1997 in “Birkhäuser Basel eBooks”

This article integrates existing literature on hair follicle structure and formation at the cellular and molecular level, reporting no new findings.

research Characterization of a Gene Encoding a Cysteine-Rich Keratin Associated Protein Synthesized Late in Rabbit Hair Follicle Differentiation

26 citations , March 1995 in “Differentiation”

This study isolated and sequenced the complete gene rKAP4L1, which encodes a cysteine-rich hair keratin-associated protein in rabbit hair follicles.

research Sequence, Expression, and Evolutionary Conservation of a Gene Encoding a Glycine/Tyrosine-Rich Keratin-Associated Protein of Hair

76 citations , February 1993 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This research observed that sheep and rabbit KAP6 genes, expressed in hair follicle cells, have high sequence similarity and indicate conservation due to evolutionary selection pressures.

research Hard Keratin Intermediate Filaments and Associated Proteins

22 citations , January 1990

research The Proteins of Hair and Other Hard Alpha-Keratins

85 citations , January 1990

research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle

90 citations , January 1979 in “International review of cytology”

This chapter reviews the complexity of hair and wool follicle formation, emphasizing the importance of cytological studies to understand the relationship between cellular components.
