October 2009 in “Endocrinology” This study demonstrated that both HR isoforms are expressed in keratinocytes, but HRDelta1072-1126 lacks corepressor activity and may act as a coactivator by inhibiting HDAC recruitment to the VDR transcriptional complex.
42 citations
,
July 2007 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” This study found that most pathogenic HR mutants associated with atrichia with papular lesions had abolished corepressor activity due to defective interactions with histone deacetylases.
30 citations
,
January 2009 in “Nuclear Receptor Signaling” This study identified the Hairless (Hr) gene-encoded protein as a corepressor that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin and hair by regulating epithelial stem cell differentiation and gene expression via chromatin remodeling, which may impact both development and disease.
5 citations
,
September 2011 in “Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease” Hairless protein helps control hair growth by regulating vitamin D receptor activity.
178 citations
,
October 2001 in “Genes & Development” This study found that the mammalian hairless gene encodes a corepressor protein that interacts with thyroid hormone receptors, providing insights into hair loss syndromes in humans and mice.
