A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Human hair keratin responds to oxidative stress via reactive sulfur and supersulfides
Human hair strength and health are linked to sulfur compounds that can be reduced by stress but improved with sulfur supplements.
