    Glossary Keratin Associated Protein Genes

    encode proteins that strengthen and structure hair

    Keratin Associated Protein (KAP) genes encode for a group of proteins that are crucial in the formation and structure of hair. These proteins bind to keratin, the primary structural component of hair, to provide strength and resilience. Understanding KAP genes is important for studying hair growth, texture, and disorders like alopecia.
