keratin-associated protein 21-3 (KRTAP21-3, KAP213)

Function

• in the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated proteins (KRTAP) involved in formation of a rigid & resistant hair shaft via extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with Cys of <A128357>hair keratins</A128357>
• matrix proteins include the high-sulfur keratins & high-glycine-tyrosine keratins
• interacts with hair keratins (putative)

More general terms

• ketatin-associated protein (KRTAP)
