Keratin-associated protein 11-1 (KRTAP11-1)

The protein contains 163 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 17085 Da.

 

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. (updated: Sept. 12, 2018)

Molecular Function

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 600064

Keratin-associated protein 11-1; krtap11-1
Hair follicle-specific gene 1; hacl1

CLONING

From a cDNA library of mouse skin, Huh et al. (1994) isolated a hair-follicle-specific gene which they designated Hacl1. The gene was expressed specifically in skin, and its mRNA level was correlated with the active state of hair follicles in developmental and regenerative processes of hair. Its mRNA was approximately 1 kb. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 6 direct repeats of a decapeptide on the C-terminal side. In situ hybridization showed that the gene is expressed specifically in the keratogenous zone of the cortical cells of the hair shaft.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, Pruett et al. (2004) mapped the mouse Krtap11-1 gene to distal chromosome 16 and the human KRTAP11-1 gene to chromosome 21q22.11, a region of conserved linkage. ... More on the omim web site
