Size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur hair keratin-associated protein 4, KAP4, gene family.

Abstract excerpt

Hair keratin-associated proteins (KAP) are a major structural component of the hair fiber. In humans, five clusters of KAP genes have been identified, leading to the isolation of more than 80 individual KAP members. Of these, a cluster of high/ultrahigh sulfur KAP has been characterized on chromosome 17q12-21. Within this cluster, however, there was an incompletely sequenced region in which the ultrahigh sulfur...
