Research cited in this study
17 / 17 resultsresearch Mapping the Accessibility of the Disulfide Crosslink Network in the Wool Fiber Cortex
In this study, researchers mapped cysteine accessibility in wool keratins and KAPs, revealing that certain cysteines in keratin end domains and Types I and II rod domains are accessible and likely involved in forming disulfide bonds.
research Krtap11-1, A Hair Keratin-Associated Protein, As A Possible Crucial Element For The Physical Properties Of Hair Shafts
This study found that Krtap11-1 may play an important role in keratin-bundle assembly in the hair cortex, influencing the physical properties of hair.
research Bidirectional Binding Property of High Glycine–Tyrosine Keratin-Associated Protein Contributes to the Mechanical Strength and Shape of Hair
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
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 Molecular Evolution of the Keratin Associated Protein Gene Family in Mammals: Role in the Evolution of Mammalian Hair
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 Biology of the Wool Follicle: An Excursion into a Unique Tissue Interaction System Waiting to Be Rediscovered
This review explores the biology of wool follicles and suggests their potential use as research models in modern biology, but it reports no new findings.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins: Sequence Regularities and Structural Implications
This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.
research Proteome Analysis of Human Hair Shaft
This study found that keratin and other hair proteins in humans are extensively modified posttranslationally, which helps explain the structural characteristics of mature hair.
