GlossaryJanus Kinase 1 (JAK1)

enzyme involved in immune signaling and cell growth

Janus Kinase 1 (JAK1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the signaling pathways of various cytokines, which are proteins important for immune system communication. It is part of the JAK family of tyrosine kinases and is involved in processes such as cell growth, development, and immune responses. In the context of hair and alopecia, JAK1 inhibitors are being researched as potential treatments for conditions like alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss.
