Description: Homo sapiens keratin associated protein 10-4 (KRTAP10-4), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_198687): This is an intronless gene located in a cluster of related genes on the q arm of chromosome 21. The proteins encoded by these genes form disulfide bonds with cysteine residues in hair keratins, thereby contributing to the structure and stability of hair fibers. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]. Sequence Note: The RefSeq transcript and protein were derived from genomic sequence to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on alignments. ##RefSeq-Attributes-START## MANE Ensembl match :: ENST00000400374.4/ ENSP00000383225.3 RefSeq Select criteria :: based on single protein-coding transcript ##RefSeq-Attributes-END## Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr21:45,993,606-45,994,987 Size: 1,382 Total Exon Count: 1 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr21:45,993,636-45,994,841 Size: 1,206 Coding Exon Count: 1
ID:KR104_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Keratin-associated protein 10-4; AltName: Full=High sulfur keratin-associated protein 10.4; AltName: Full=Keratin-associated protein 10.4; AltName: Full=Keratin-associated protein 18-4; AltName: Full=Keratin-associated protein 18.4; FUNCTION: 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. SUBUNIT: Interacts with hair keratins. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Restricted to hair root, not detected in any other tissues. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the KRTAP type 10 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
