The androgen receptor's shape-changing ability helps it function but can lead to cancer treatment resistance.
research Down-Regulation of Melanocortin Receptor Signaling Mediated by the Amino Terminus of Agouti Protein in Xenopus Melanophores
Agouti protein affects melanocortin receptors through competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation.
research Bidirectional Binding Property of High Glycine–Tyrosine Keratin-Associated Protein Contributes to the Mechanical Strength and Shape of Hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research Desmoglein 4 Mutations Underlie Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis in Humans, Mice, and Rats
Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause fragile, sparse hair in humans, mice, and rats.
research A Novel Mutation in ST14 at a Functionally Significant Amino Acid Residue Expands the Spectrum of Ichthyosis-Hypotrichosis Syndrome
A new mutation in the ST14 gene broadens the understanding of ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome.
research The Nude Mutant Gene Foxn1 Is a HOXC13 Regulatory Target During Hair Follicle and Nail Differentiation
HOXC13 is essential for hair and nail development by regulating Foxn1.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
