GlossaryLIM Homeobox 2

gene encoding a protein crucial for hair follicle development

LIM Homeobox 2 (Lhx2) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor, which is a type of protein that helps control the activity of other genes. It plays a crucial role in the development of various tissues, including the brain and hair follicles. In the context of hair, Lhx2 is essential for the proper formation and cycling of hair follicles, making it significant in studies related to hair growth and conditions like alopecia.
