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.

This study demonstrated that mink hair growth and pelt quality significantly depend on dietary protein levels and DL-methionine supplementation during the growing-furring period.

This study reports that in Rex rabbits, age affects fur quality and hair follicle traits, with the Wnt signaling pathway playing a role in their periodic hair follicle development.

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.

This study observed that age influences fur quality and hair follicle traits in Rex rabbits, with significant differences in the Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling pathways during hair follicle development, suggesting the ideal slaughter age should not be earlier than 120 days to maximize fur characteristics.
