| UniProt Protein Function: | KRTAP13-1: In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant hair shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of hair keratins. The matrix proteins include the high- sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins. Belongs to the PMG family.Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 21q22.1Cellular Component: intermediate filament |
