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.
