November 2002 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” In this study, researchers found that size polymorphisms in certain hKAP1 genes are linked to the hKAP1.1B and hKAP1.3 genes, arising from intragenic deletions and duplications in Japanese and Caucasian populations.
March 2026 in “The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences” This study on Indian dromedary camel breeds investigated the KRTAP7 protein, finding all four breeds shared an identical gene sequence, with 13 phosphorylation and glycosylation sites influencing hair characteristics, alongside predicted interactions with other biosynthesis-related proteins.

February 2002 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, researchers identified two new keratin-associated proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, in human hair follicles, contributing to understanding hair fiber differentiation.
January 2014 in “China Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Medicine” 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.
