    inhibits hair follicle formation, contributing to hair loss

    Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cell signaling pathways, particularly the Wnt signaling pathway, which is important for cell growth and development. In the context of hair biology, DKK1 is known to inhibit hair follicle formation and is associated with conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), where its elevated levels can lead to hair loss.
