Abstract excerpt
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a major component of wool and other keratin-containing tissues. While four KAP1-n proteins have been identified in sheep, only three genes have been described encoding KAP1-1, KAP1-3 and KAP1-4. Here, we used a sequence conserved across the known KAP1-n genes to search the inaugural Ovine Genome Sequence (v1.0) and identified a new KAP1-n sequence on chromosome 11. PCR...
