    GlossaryProtein Degradation

    process of breaking down proteins into amino acids

    Protein degradation is the process by which cells break down proteins into their constituent amino acids. This is essential for regulating protein levels, removing damaged or misfolded proteins, and recycling amino acids for new protein synthesis. In the context of hair and alopecia, disruptions in protein degradation pathways can affect hair follicle health and contribute to hair loss.
