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 found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.1 gene were significantly associated with cashmere weight, length, and guard hair length in Chinese Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats, but not with fibre diameter.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

In this study, researchers observed that the KAP8-1 gene influences skin and hair follicle development and wool quality with varying expression levels in different Ovis aries crossbred varieties.
