Did you mean Keratin Gene Expression?

GlossaryKeratin Gene Expression

process where cells produce keratin proteins for hair and skin

Keratin gene expression refers to the process by which cells produce keratin, a type of protein that is a key structural component of hair, skin, and nails. This involves the activation of specific genes within a cell's DNA that encode for keratin proteins, leading to their synthesis and assembly. Understanding keratin gene expression is crucial for studying hair growth, skin disorders, and conditions like alopecia.
