GlossaryGremlin

protein inhibiting bone morphogenetic proteins, affecting hair growth

Gremlin is a protein that acts as an antagonist to bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which are involved in various cellular processes including hair follicle development and growth. By inhibiting BMPs, Gremlin can influence hair growth cycles and has been studied for its potential role in conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.
