Sequence Variation in Caprine <i>KRTAP6-2</i> Affects Cashmere Fiber Diameter

Sequence Variation in Caprine <i>KRTAP6-2</i> Affects Cashmere Fiber Diameter

Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a structural component of cashmere fibers and in part determine fiber attributes. The gene encoding the high-glycine/tyrosine KAP6-2 (called <i>KRTAP6-2</i>) has been described in sheep, but it has not been identified goats. In this study, a 252-bp...
