Description

The KRTAP22-2 (keratin associated protein 22-2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 21.

KRTAP22-2, as part of the interfilamentous matrix in the hair cortex, plays a crucial role in hair shaft structure. It interacts with hair keratins, forming disulfide bonds through abundant cysteine residues, contributing to the rigidity and strength of the hair shaft.

KRTAP22-2 is also known as KAP22.2.
