Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
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.
Subcellular Localization
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Restricted to hair root, not detected in any other tissues. Expressed in cuticle layers of differentiating hair follicles. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15144888}.
