motifs/domains
  • two EF hands Ca2+binding domains at the N terminus

    basic FUNCTION
  • calcium binding protein of differentiated hard keratinizing tissues
  • intermediate filament-associated protein (IFAP)
  • plays a key role in the assembly of keratin intermediate filaments (IFs) during the hair cycle
  • is a potential major autoantigen in human alopecia areata
  • large structural protein abundant in the inner root sheath (IRS) of anagenic hair follicles, which has been thought to mediate the keratin filamentous assembly
  • latches onto the keratin bundles by its C-terminus and rearranges the keratin meshwork by intrinsic cohesive activity for the granule formation

    small molecule
    protein
  • BMP4 facilitates TCHH transcription, and intriguingly, a nuclear lamina component plays a key role in the posttranslational stabilization of TCHH protein
