    Glossary Keratin Expression

    process by which cells produce structural protein for hair and skin

    Keratin expression refers to the process by which cells produce keratin, a type of protein that is a key structural component of hair, skin, and nails. This process is regulated by specific genes, and variations in keratin expression can affect the strength, texture, and growth of hair. For professionals, understanding keratin expression is crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions like alopecia and other hair disorders.
