Introduction

In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAP), essential for formation of a rigid & resistant hair shaft through extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant Cys of <A128357>hair keratins</A128357>. The matrix proteins include high-sulfur & high-Gly-Tyr keratins.
