    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.
