KRTAP13-4: A Potential Drug Target and Biomarker

Keratin associated protein 13-4 (KRTAP13-4) is a protein that is expressed in various tissues, including hair, skin, and nails. It has been identified as a potential drug target and biomarker for various diseases, including cancer, skin diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

KRTAP13-4 is a member of the keratin family, which is a diverse group of proteins that are involved in the structure and function of hair, skin, and nails. Thekeratin family is known for their ability to undergo various post-translational modifications, which have important roles in regulating cellular processes and biological processes.

KRTAP13-4 has been shown to play a role in various cellular processes, including cell signaling, migration, and invasion. It has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.

In addition to its role in cellular processes, KRTAP13-4 has also been shown to be involved in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. It has been shown to play a role in the regulation of immune cell function, including the regulation of T cell activity and the production of antibodies.

These findings suggest that KRTAP13-4 may be a promising drug target and biomarker for various diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand its role and potential as a drug target and biomarker.

Overall, KRTAP13-4 is a protein that is worth further investigation as a potential drug target and biomarker. Its unique structure and function, as well as its involvement in various cellular processes and biological processes, make it an interesting target for research and development.

Protein Name: Keratin Associated Protein 13-4

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