    GlossaryDesert Hedgehog

    gene involved in hair follicle development and cell differentiation

    Desert Hedgehog (DHH) is a gene that encodes a signaling protein involved in the development of various tissues, including hair follicles. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation, particularly in the formation of the dermal papilla, which is essential for hair follicle development and cycling. Mutations or disruptions in the DHH gene can lead to hair growth disorders and contribute to conditions like alopecia.
