    Glossary Hair Keratin Genes

    segments of DNA that produce keratin for hair structure

    Hair keratin genes are segments of DNA that encode for keratin proteins, which are essential structural components of hair. These genes determine the strength, texture, and growth patterns of hair by directing the production of keratin, a fibrous protein that forms the main structural constituent of hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin.
