GlossaryKeratin 25 (K25)

protein crucial for hair fiber strength and integrity

Keratin 25 (KRT25) is a type of protein found in the hair and skin, specifically classified as a type I keratin. It plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and strength of hair fibers. Mutations or deficiencies in KRT25 can lead to hair disorders and contribute to conditions like alopecia.
