GlossaryCyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cyclic AMP)

acts as a second messenger in cellular signal transduction

Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is a crucial cellular messenger that helps transmit signals from the cell surface to its interior, influencing various biological processes such as metabolism, gene expression, and cell growth. In the context of hair biology, cAMP plays a role in regulating hair follicle activity and can impact conditions like alopecia by affecting hair growth cycles.
