TLDR Transamidases help form strong crosslinks in hair proteins, crucial for hair strength.
The 1972 study investigated the formation of iε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine crosslinks in hair proteins and the role of transamidases in hair follicles, focusing on the enzymatic processes crucial for hair's structural integrity. The research provided insights into the biochemical mechanisms of hair protein crosslinking, contributing to the understanding of hair biology and potential implications for hair growth and hair loss treatments.
