protein marker for adult stem cells in hair follicles

Lgr5, or Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5, is a protein that serves as a marker for adult stem cells in various tissues, including hair follicles. It plays a crucial role in the regeneration and repair of these tissues, making it significant in studies related to hair growth and alopecia.
