May 2019 in “Small ruminant research” This study identified polymorphisms in HGT-KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 genes in Argentine llamas that may impact fiber characteristics by altering amino acid residues critical for keratin-associated protein properties.
In this study, researchers found that the keratin-associated protein 36-1 gene (KRTAP36-1) allele C is linked to variations in mean fibre curvature of fine wool in Chinese Tan lambs, suggesting its role in their distinctive curly coat.

January 2017 in “Folia biologica” This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.
September 2022 in “Canadian journal of animal science” This study found that polymorphisms in KRTAP13.1, KRTAP27-1, and KRTAP24-1 were significantly associated with fiber diameter in Jiangnan cashmere goats, which may aid future breeding and conservation efforts.
