    GlossaryTRPV4

    protein channel regulating calcium flow in cells

    TRPV4 is a type of protein found in the cell membranes that acts as an ion channel, allowing calcium and other ions to pass into the cell. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of skin barrier function, hair growth, and response to mechanical and osmotic stress. Dysfunction in TRPV4 can be linked to certain skin and hair disorders, as well as other medical conditions.
