Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function In the hair cortex, hair 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 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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed specifically in the middle/upper portions of the hair cortex, in the region termed the keratogenous zone. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11279113}.
