    protein that inhibits hair growth by signaling phase transition

    Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 (FGF5) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the hair growth cycle. Specifically, it acts to inhibit hair growth by signaling the transition from the growth phase (anagen) to the regression phase (catagen), which can lead to shorter hair growth periods and potentially contribute to conditions like alopecia.
