Did you mean Hair Follicle Keratinocytes?

Glossary Hair Follicle Keratinocytes

specialized cells in hair follicles that produce keratin

Hair follicle keratinocytes are specialized cells located in the hair follicle that produce keratin, a protein that forms the structure of hair. These cells play a crucial role in the growth and development of hair by continuously dividing and differentiating to form the hair shaft and its surrounding structures.
