GlossaryHairless Protein (HR protein)

regulates hair growth and follicle cycling

The Hairless Protein, also known as the HR protein, is a crucial component in the regulation of hair growth and development. It is encoded by the HR gene, and mutations in this gene can lead to conditions like alopecia universalis, where individuals lose all body hair. This protein plays a role in the hair follicle cycle, particularly in the transition from the growth phase (anagen) to the rest phase (telogen).
