The function of SCYGR10 (small cysteine and glycine repeat containing 10 (gene/pseudogene), Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000284622) is as follows. 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. .
