Glossary Calcium Binding Protein 2

regulates calcium levels within cells for various functions

Calcium Binding Protein 2 (CaBP2) is a protein that helps regulate calcium levels within cells, which is crucial for various cellular functions, including muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and cell growth. In the context of hair biology, proper calcium regulation is essential for the health and growth of hair follicles.
