    protein crucial for hair follicle development and growth

    Wnt7a is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and growth of hair follicles. It is part of the Wnt signaling pathway, which is essential for cell communication and regulation during embryonic development and tissue regeneration. In the context of hair, Wnt7a helps to stimulate the growth and maintenance of hair follicles, making it a key factor in understanding conditions like alopecia.
