    GlossaryPhosphorylation

    addition of a phosphate group to a molecule

    Phosphorylation is a biochemical process where a phosphate group is added to a molecule, such as a protein or a nucleotide. This modification can change the molecule's function, activity, or location, and is crucial in regulating various cellular processes, including metabolism, cell signaling, and growth. For example, in the context of hair biology, phosphorylation can influence the activity of proteins involved in hair growth and follicle development.
