LAMTOR3 skin cells hair follicle development gene expression molecular mechanisms hair growth

TLDR The LAMTOR3 gene is involved in cashmere goat hair growth and is affected by certain treatments and other genes.

The study investigated the gene expression and localization of LAMTOR3 in the skin cells of Liaoning Cashmere goats. The findings indicated that LAMTOR3 was expressed in various skin cell types, suggesting its potential role in skin cell function and hair follicle development. This research provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth in cashmere goats, which could have implications for improving cashmere production.
