The Mean Staple Length of Wool Fibre Is Associated with Variation in the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-2 Gene
Wool and hair fibres consist of a variety of proteins, including the keratin-associated proteins (KAPs). In this study, a putative ovine homologue of the human KAP21-2 gene (<i>KRTAP21-2</i>) was identified. It was located on chromosome 1 as a 201-bp open reading frame (ORF) in the ovine...
