December 2002 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” 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.
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.
