GlossaryTrichohyalin

protein in hair follicles aiding keratin filament organization

Trichohyalin is a protein found in hair follicles and the inner root sheath of hair. It plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and strength of hair by helping to organize and cross-link keratin filaments, which are the main structural components of hair.
