Description

The KRTAP6-1 (keratin associated protein 6-1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 21.

KRTAP6-1 is a hair keratin-associated protein that plays a crucial role in the formation of the hair shaft. It contributes to the structure and strength of hair by forming disulfide bonds with hair keratins, creating a rigid and resilient interfilamentous matrix.

KRTAP6-1 is also known as C21orf103, KAP6.1.
