Effects of KRTAP20-1 Gene Variation on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep.

Genes - 12 Aug 2024

Bai Lingrong, Zhou Huitong, Tao Jinzhong, Hickford Jon G H

Abstract excerpt

Chinese Tan sheep lambs are recognised for having tight 'spring-like' curly wool when young, but this phenotype disappears with age. This wool consists of shorter, fine wool fibres (which are usually unmedullated) and heterotypic hair fibres (which are frequently medullated), which are referred to as 'halo hair'. Both the wool and hair fibres consist of α-keratin proteins embedded in a keratin-associated protein...
