This study found that KAP7.1 and KAP8.2 genes were significantly more expressed in secondary hair follicles than primary follicles, suggesting their role in regulating cashmere fiber diameter.

This study suggests that the KAP 7 gene may serve as a potential molecular marker for genetic selection to improve staple length and greasy fleece weight in Rambouillet sheep.

This study found that K33A was significantly upregulated in lustrous Magra wool follicles, while other keratin and KAP genes showed downregulation, impacting wool's physical properties like luster.

This study found that straight crimp mutant wool differs from crimpy wool in the layout of cortical cells and the relative proportions of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

This review examines the genetic challenges in improving wool and cashmere fibers, emphasizing the need for further research on wool keratins and keratin-associated proteins to enhance fiber characteristics.
