    Glossary Keratin Genes

    segments of DNA that encode structural proteins for hair

    Keratin genes are segments of DNA that encode for keratin proteins, which are essential structural components of hair, skin, and nails. These genes play a crucial role in the strength and resilience of these tissues, and mutations in keratin genes can lead to various hair and skin disorders, including certain types of alopecia.
