    Glossary Estrogen Receptor Alpha

    protein inside cells that binds to estrogen hormone

    Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) is a protein found inside cells that binds to the hormone estrogen. This receptor is crucial for regulating various biological processes, including reproductive functions and the development of certain tissues. In the context of hair and alopecia, ERα can influence hair growth and loss, as estrogen plays a role in the hair growth cycle.
