Did you mean Desmoglein 4?

GlossaryDesmoglein 4

protein crucial for hair follicle formation and maintenance

Desmoglein 4 is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of hair follicles. It is part of the desmosome complex, which helps cells stick together, ensuring the structural integrity of tissues. Mutations in the gene encoding Desmoglein 4 can lead to hair disorders such as localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis, characterized by sparse and fragile hair.
