Description
In the hair cortex, hair keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix,consisting of hair keratin-associated protein (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistanthair shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of hair keratins. Thematrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins
