In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.

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 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, experimentally induced weight loss in merino sheep led to a decrease in wool fiber diameter and increased expression of certain high sulfur and glycine-tyrosine proteins, potentially impacting wool quality and industry preferences.

In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

This article reviews extensive genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-associated proteins of human hair, indicating complexity but reporting no new clinical results and calls for further research on their potential impact on hair structure.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

This study observed that the growth cycle of cashmere in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats consists of three phases, with genes KAP3–1, KRTAP 8–1, and KRTAP 24–1 closely correlating with this cycle.

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.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

This study found that differences in skin transcriptomes between juvenile and adult mink, as well as between black and white mink, suggest genes regulating hair color are active during early development rather than adulthood.

This study on Indian dromedary camel breeds investigated the KRTAP7 protein, finding all four breeds shared an identical gene sequence, with 13 phosphorylation and glycosylation sites influencing hair characteristics, alongside predicted interactions with other biosynthesis-related proteins.

This study found that Keratin 26 is expressed differently in hair follicle phases, particularly during catagen and telogen, influencing cashmere growth and interacting antagonistically with the BMP signaling pathway.

This study identified key proteins, FKBP10 and FBN2, that promote the growth cycle of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, with higher expression in the anagen phase, offering insights into mechanisms potentially enhancing cashmere yield and quality.

This study identified three genes in the ovine KAP13 family on chromosome 1 and found that a specific allele of KRTAP13-2 is associated with improved wool fibre diameter uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep, suggesting its potential use as a marker for enhancing wool traits.

This study found that Super Merino sheep have a higher wool follicle density, finer fleece, and distinct gene expression compared to Small Tail Han sheep, which may inform future breeding and genetic interventions.

This article proposes an updated naming system for keratin-associated proteins and genes, aiming to improve data storage and retrieval by including species information and genetic variation.

This article reviews the genetic and protein interactions involved in hair growth, highlighting regulatory sequences, expression patterns, and potential genetic modifications, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

This study found that melatonin at 0.2 g/L for 72 hours most effectively enhances cashmere growth in Liaoning cashmere goats by upregulating the lncRNA MTC, which activates NF-kB signaling.

This study investigated the expression of KRTAP6 gene family in Gansu Alpine fine-wool sheep, finding significant expression during the anagen phase and a negative correlation between KRTAP6-1 and KRTAP6-5 expressions with wool fiber diameter and strength.

This study proposes a new method to selectively isolate keratin-associated proteins and keratin from human hair, suggesting that KAPs may support keratin fibers in hair structure.

This study found that genetic variation in the KRTAP21-2 gene among crossbred Merino lambs was associated with differences in wool traits, particularly mean staple length.

This study reports that α-casein in bovine milk can form stable complexes with zinc, potentially useful for fortifying milk-based products to enhance zinc availability.

This study identified eight alleles of the caprine KAP13-3 gene in cashmere goats, which could influence gene expression and cashmere fiber characteristics.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

In this study, researchers identified six unique genetic variants of a sheep gene, KRTAP19-3, with specific variants linked to changes in wool fibre traits, such as increased fibre diameter variability, suggesting these genetic differences affect wool characteristics in Chinese Tan sheep.
