GlossaryCRY2

protein regulating circadian rhythms and hair growth cycles

CRY2 stands for Cryptochrome Circadian Regulator 2, a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the circadian rhythms, which are the body's internal clock mechanisms governing sleep-wake cycles and other physiological processes. In the context of hair biology, CRY2 can influence hair growth cycles by affecting the timing and duration of hair follicle activity.
