KRTAP5-1

Gene
KRTAP5-1
Protein
Keratin-associated protein 5-1
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
278 amino acids
Function
In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated protein (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant hair shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of hair keratins. The matrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins.
Similarity
Belongs to the KRTAP type 5 family.
Mass
24.194 kDa
