GlossaryLPAR6

protein receptor involved in hair growth and maintenance

LPAR6, also known as Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 6, is a protein encoded by the LPAR6 gene. This receptor is involved in cell signaling and plays a crucial role in hair growth and maintenance. Mutations in the LPAR6 gene can lead to conditions like hypotrichosis, a form of hair loss characterized by sparse and fragile hair.
