Abstract excerpt
Keratins and keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are large heterogeneous groups of proteins that constitute about 90% of the wool fiber. The genes encoding the high glycine-tyrosine (HGT) KAPs are the first sub-group of KAP genes expressed in the wool follicle and just after expression of the keratin genes. Little is known about variation in these genes, which led us to investigate two HGT-KAP genes, KRTAP7-1 and...
