KRTAP4-1 Gene

HGNC Family Keratin associated proteins (KRTAP)
Name keratin associated protein 4-1
Description This protein is a member of the keratin-associated protein (KAP) family. The KAP proteins form a matrix of keratin intermediate filaments which contribute to the structure of hair fibers. KAP family members appear to have unique, family-specific amino- and carboxyl-terminal regions and are subdivided into three multi-gene families according to amino acid composition: the high sulfur, the ultrahigh sulfur, and the high tyrosine/glycine KAPs. This protein is a member of the ultrahigh sulfur KAP family and the gene is localized to a cluster of KAPs at 17q12-q21. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Although none of the three abstracts center on KRTAP4-1, the integrated results from high‐throughput transcriptional profiling, affinity proteomics, and genetic association studies provide an opportunity to infer potential roles for this keratin‐associated protein. As a member of the keratin‐associated protein family, KRTAP4-1 is generally thought to contribute to the structural integrity and mechanical properties of keratin-rich tissues. An analysis of large microarray datasets (1) has enabled the clustering of co-regulated genes into transcriptional signatures, suggesting that genes like KRTAP4-1 may be involved in tissue-specific differentiation processes. In parallel, system‐level proteomic studies applied to cellular organelles such as cilia (2) have uncovered complex interaction networks that hint at specific protein–protein interactions often involved in maintaining the stability and proper organization of cytoskeletal assemblies. Furthermore, genome-wide association studies investigating conditions related to metabolic dysregulation (3) imply that variation in expression or function of structural proteins, including those in the keratin-associated family, may contribute indirectly to broader phenotypic outcomes.\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Together, these large-scale, unbiased approaches support the idea that KRTAP4-1 might play a role in regulating tissue architecture through its contribution to cytoskeletal stability and cell differentiation, although detailed functional studies will be essential to precisely delineate its biological contributions."}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Fabrice Lopez, Julien Textoris, Aurélie Bergon, et al.
