Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24-1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep.

Gene - 10 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are major structural components of hair and wool fibres, and play a critical role in determining the properties of the fibre. While over 100 KAP genes that have been grouped into 27 KAP families have been identified in mammals, most homologues remain unidentified in sheep. A BLAST search of the Ovine Genome Assembly v2.0 using a human KRTAP24-1 coding sequence (NM_001085455),...
