GlossaryBone Morphogenetic Protein 4

regulates hair follicle growth and tissue development

Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and growth of various tissues, including bone and hair follicles. It is part of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily and is involved in cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. In the context of hair, BMP4 helps regulate the growth cycle of hair follicles and can influence conditions like alopecia.
