This study found that enzymatic conversion of Arg-51 in S100A3 protein to citrulline promotes homotetramer assembly, potentially increasing Ca²⁺ binding required for hair cuticular barrier formation.
research iε-(γ-Glutamyl) lysine cross-linkage in citrulline-containing protein fractions from hair
Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.
research Trichohyalin, an intermediate filament-associated protein of the hair follicle.
This study reports that a 190,000 molecular weight protein, identified as trichohyalin, may play a matrix role in the development of inner root sheaths in hair follicles.
research Deimination in epidermal barrier and hair formation
This article reports that mutations in the PADI3 gene, affecting its activity or localization, cause uncombable hair syndrome and are linked to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly among women of African ancestry.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Saw this on online marketplace. It seems that it's the unique one... What does L-Arginine do to hair? Does it similar to minoxidil, which is help the circulation of blood? But one thing i read online, they say that it's a source of food for viruses, is that true?
L-Arginine is discussed for its potential to improve blood circulation, similar to Minoxidil. Concerns are raised about it possibly feeding viruses.
community L-Arginine and other vasodilators
L-Arginine and other vasodilators are discussed for hair health, with L-Arginine being less effective than topical treatments like Minoxidil. Topical sildenafil or Cialis are suggested as potentially effective treatments for hair regrowth.
community Could l-arginine be making hairloss worse?
L-arginine may worsen hair loss by potentially increasing testosterone levels, especially in those with a DHT-sensitive gene. Users discuss the effects of increased nitric oxide on hair loss and consider stopping supplements like zinc and l-arginine to see if hair conditions improve.
community Would L arginine help male pattern baldness?
Minoxidil 5%, finasteride 1 mg, and L-arginine are discussed for male pattern baldness. L-arginine may help with blood flow but its effectiveness for hair loss is uncertain.
community Topical ( Fin+Min+Arginine) wow?
The conversation is about hair loss treatment using topical minoxidil, finasteride, and arginine, showing noticeable progress in one month. The user suggests adding arginine serum for better results.
