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 found that in cashmere goats, melatonin treatments enhanced cashmere growth by stimulating secondary hair follicles, increasing follicle density, and improving yield and quality, highlighting key genes and metabolic pathways involved in this process.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.

In this study, researchers identified KRT6A as a potentially important gene in mesenchymal stem cell-derived treatments for alopecia areata, revealing its role as a diagnostic marker, predictor of disease severity, and a protective factor, with overexpression alleviating hair loss in experimental models.

This study developed a mouse model lacking keratin 16 to replicate palmoplantar lesions, which may help uncover the molecular mechanisms driving these lesions in pachyonychia congenita and focal non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.

This article presents a family case study of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis linked to a specific KRT14 gene variant, detailing symptoms and stressing the importance of molecular diagnosis for management.

This study found that while most mice lacking MK6a and MK6b genes died from tongue epithelium disintegration, about 25% survived and showed no hair or nail defects due to a newly discovered MK6hf gene.

Proteomic analysis can identify genetic differences in mouse hair, helping understand hair defects and variations.

This study found that keratin 6hf, a type II keratin, is expressed in specific regions of mouse and human hair and suggests potential interactions with keratin 17, impacting hair development and associated disorders.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

This study suggests that a newly identified KRT 71 gene variant may be responsible for curly hair in Curly Coated Retrievers and potentially contributes to follicular dysplasia.

This review discusses the roles of human tissue kallikreins in skin physiology and pathology and reports no new findings, emphasizing their potential involvement in various skin functions and conditions.

This study successfully cloned the KAP6.1 gene from Xinjiang fine-wool sheep and found its genetic sequence has high homology with sheep and goat sequences, indicating close genetic relationships.

This article reviews the role of Kremen proteins as regulators in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, highlighting their significance in development and cancer, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the researchers identified a variant in the CCHCR1 gene associated with an alopecia areata subtype characterized by impaired keratinization and autoimmune events.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tissue from two sheep breeds during the growing period and identified 56 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 616 mRNAs linked to hair follicle development, suggesting potential targets for improving sheep wool quality through genetic and molecular approaches.

This study analyzed inner root sheath-specific genes in Tan sheep during various growth stages, finding peak expression at birth. The pattern of genes KRT71, KRT72, and TCHH is consistent with wool crimp, potentially influencing wool morphology.

In this study, targeting the expression of a keratin KRT5/KRT8 chimeric cDNA in keratin-deficient mice partially restored structural defects in epidermal cells, but did not fully normalize skin health.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis in young siblings, with cultures showing M. canis and Rhodotorulla, and notes improvement after treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo for two months.

This study suggests that the KAP 7 gene may serve as a potential molecular marker for genetic selection to improve staple length and greasy fleece weight in Rambouillet sheep.

This study evaluated krokot extract as a hair tonic and found it to be microbiologically safe, effective at extending and increasing hair weight, non-irritating, and generally well-received in terms of aroma and color when tested on rabbits.

In this study, full-size KRT81 was expressed in both normal breast epithelial and breast cancer cells, and contributed to the migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells.

A rare genetic deletion in the KRT1 gene causes unique skin symptoms in a family.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study presents computational modeling and experimental analysis of the HGT protein KAP8.1, identifying key structural features that may influence hair's response to environmental conditions.

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.
