GlossaryOVOL2

gene regulating hair follicle development and differentiation

OVOL2 is a gene that plays a crucial role in the regulation of hair follicle development and differentiation. It encodes a transcription factor that helps control the expression of other genes involved in hair growth and skin health. Mutations or dysregulation of OVOL2 can lead to hair disorders and contribute to conditions like alopecia.
