Function | In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin-associated protein (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. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in hair root and not in skin. Expressed also in liver and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15144888}. |
