KRTAP4-8 Inhibitors

KRTAP4-8 inhibitors, Disulfiram and Iodoacetamide, target aldehyde groups and cysteine residues, respectively, which can modify the structural integrity essential for KRTAP4-8's role in hair fiber formation. Dithiothreitol (DTT) and Phenylarsine oxide, through their actions on disulfide bonds and vicinal thiol proteins, can disrupt the tertiary structure and function of KRTAP4-8.

Genistein and Staurosporine, as kinase inhibitors, can affect the phosphorylation state of KRTAP4-8, a post-translational modification that could influence protein interactions and function. Retinoic acid, by modulating gene expression, can affect the hair follicle cycle, potentially impacting the expression levels of KRTAP4-8. Mimosine and MG-132, by inhibiting cell proliferation and proteasomal degradation, respectively, may affect the availability and stability of KRTAP4-8 within the cell. Furthermore, Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)'s ability to disrupt protein-protein interactions and Cadmium chloride's induction of oxidative stress can lead to changes in the structural conformation and function of KRTAP4-8. Tunicamycin's role in inhibiting glycosylation can affect the post-translational modification of KRTAP4-8, potentially altering its stability and function.
