group X secreted phospholipase A2 sPLA2-X anagen phase alopecia hair follicle distortion hyperplasia epidermis sebaceous glands proteolytic activation phosphatidylethanolamine eicosanoid production Pla2g10-deficient hair gene expression outer root sheath melanin granules prostanoid synthesis hair follicle homeostasis prostanoid pathway hair loss hair growth phase skin thickening oil glands enzyme activation fatty acids inflammatory molecules gene expression hair root sheath skin pigment prostaglandins hair health inflammatory pathway
Studysummary This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.
