    Did you mean Alpha-Keratin?
    Glossary Alpha-Keratin

    Alpha-keratin is a fibrous structural protein that is a key component of hair, skin, and nails in mammals. It plays a crucial role in the strength and resilience of hair strands, contributing to their overall health and appearance. In the context of hair loss, alterations in alpha-keratin production or structure can lead to weakened hair follicles and increased susceptibility to damage and shedding. Distinguishing characteristics of alpha-keratin include its helical structure and its ability to form strong, durable fibers that provide mechanical support to hair and other keratinized tissues.
