    protein crucial for hair structure and strength

    Keratin 85, also known as KRT85, is a type of protein found in hair follicles. It plays a crucial role in the structure and strength of hair, contributing to its resilience and elasticity. Mutations in the KRT85 gene can lead to hair disorders, such as monilethrix, which is characterized by beaded or fragile hair.
