GlossaryTRPV5

protein channel that regulates calcium entry into cells

TRPV5 is a type of protein that forms a channel in cell membranes, specifically allowing calcium ions to enter cells. This channel is crucial for maintaining calcium balance in the body, which is important for bone health and various cellular functions. In the context of hair and alopecia, proper calcium regulation can influence hair follicle health and growth.
