KRTAP1-1: Lysates

This protein is a member of the keratin-associated protein (KAP) family. The KAP proteins form a matrix of keratinintermediate filaments which contribute to the structure of hair fibers. KAP family members appear to have unique,family-specific amino- and carboxyl-terminal regions and are subdivided into three multi-gene families according toamino acid composition: the high sulfur, the ultrahigh sulfur, and the high tyrosine/glycine KAPs. This protein is amember of the high sulfur KAP family and the gene is localized to a cluster of KAPs at 17q12-q21. (provided by RefSeq)
