research Human hair keratin-associated proteins: Sequence regularities and structural implications

52 citations , May 2006 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.

research Isolation and characterization of genomic clones of human sequences presumably coding for hair cysteine-rich proteins

11 citations , January 1997 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study identified a human sequence likely coding for a new ultra-high sulphur protein, which may aid in understanding hair differentiation and the molecular basis of human trichothiodystrophy.

research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co-option in the evolution of the hair follicle

2 citations , March 2023 in “BMC ecology and evolution”

This study suggests that some keratin-associated proteins with antecedents found in non-haired animals may have roles beyond hair characteristics, possibly contributing to the evolution of hair follicles.
