GlossaryEctodysplasin A Receptor

protein crucial for hair, teeth, and gland development

The Ectodysplasin A Receptor (EDAR) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development of hair, teeth, and certain glands. Mutations in the EDAR gene can lead to conditions like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which is characterized by sparse hair, missing teeth, and reduced ability to sweat.
