This research found that variations in the KRTAP gene family are likely responsible for the diverse hair phenotypes seen among mammals, influenced by gene repertoire differences, expression, and evolutionary factors.

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

This study suggests that some keratin-associated proteins with antecedents found in non-haired animals may have roles beyond hair characteristics, possibly contributing to the evolution of hair follicles.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.
