iTRAQ quantitative proteomics secondary hair follicles FKBP prolyl isomerase 10 fibrillin 2 albumin collagen type I alpha 1 chain elastin anagen phase telogen phase outer root sheath iTRAQ SHFs FKBP10 FBN2 ALB COL1A1 ELN

TLDR FKBP10 and FBN2 are key proteins for hair growth in cashmere goats.

This study used iTRAQ quantitative proteomics technology to identify key proteins involved in the growth of secondary hair follicles (SHFs) in cashmere goats. It highlighted FKBP prolyl isomerase 10 (FKBP10) and fibrillin 2 (FBN2) as crucial proteins, with albumin (ALB), collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), and elastin (ELN) as interacting proteins. These proteins showed higher expression during the anagen phase and lower levels during telogen, particularly in the outer root sheath of SHFs. The research provides insights into the regulatory mechanisms of SHF growth, potentially aiding in enhancing cashmere yield and quality.
