KRTAP6-1

Gene
KRTAP6-1
Protein
Keratin-associated protein 6-1
Organism
Ovis aries
Length
83 amino acids
Function
In the wool cortex, wool keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant wool shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of wool keratins. The matrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins.
Similarity
Belongs to the KRTAP type 6 family.
Mass
