Gene information for KRTAP3-2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID83897
Official gene symbolKRTAP3-2
Full namekeratin associated protein 3-2
Aliases,KAP3.2,KRTAP3.2,
Gene summaryThis 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 high sulfur KAP family and the gene is localized to a cluster of KAPs at 17q12-q21. [provided by RefSeq]
