5 / 277 resultsresearch Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
This study mapped 65 intermediate filament genes in the human genome, highlighting that the majority of keratin-related sequences are inactive pseudogenes, notably for keratins 8 and 18.
research Characterization of a 300 kbp Region of Human DNA Containing the Type II Hair Keratin Gene Domain
The research identified six functional hair keratin genes and four pseudogenes, providing insights into hair formation and gene organization.
research Characterization of a 190-Kilobase Pair Domain of Human Type I Hair Keratin Genes
This study discovered nine human type I hair keratin genes, including a transcribed pseudogene, in a 190 kbp genomic region, revealing three gene subclusters based on sequence homologies.
research Mammalian keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs) subgenomes: disentangling hair diversity and adaptation to terrestrial and aquatic environments
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.
