Traditionally, sheep are raised in Egypt for meat and wool production. Selection for higher
wool quality could increase its suitability for particular processing procedures in the wool …

The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-
associated protein (KAP22-1) gene in Barki (n= 206), Rahmani (n= 28) and Ossimi (n= 28) …

The objective of the present study was to investigate the association of polymorphic variants
of keratin-associated protein (KAP) 1.3 gene with wool traits in Rambouillet sheep. Genomic …

Polymorphic variants of keratin-associated protein (KAP) 6.1 gene with wool traits of
Sandyno and Nilagiri breeds of sheep were investigated in this study. Genomic DNA was …

Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are constituents of wool and hair fibres and are believed
to play an important role in determining the characteristics of the fibres. In the current study …

The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of wool fibers and
variation in the genes encoding the KAPs can affect wool traits. In this study, sequence …

Abstract Background and Objective: Some wool traits were found to be affected by KAPs
genes. So, this investigation was carried out to detect polymorphisms in KAP1. 1 and KAP1 …

The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of wool fibres and
variation in genes encoding KAPs may affect wool characteristics. Variation in the KAP gene …

Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of wool and hair fibers. To
date, eight high glycine/tyrosine KAP (HGT-KAP) families have been identified in humans …

Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are one of the main structural components of the wool
fibre and form a semi-rigid matrix in which the keratin intermediate filaments are embedded …
