    GlossaryRSPO1

    protein regulating hair growth and skin development

    RSPO1, or R-spondin 1, is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of hair growth and skin development. It activates the Wnt signaling pathway, which is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle cells. Mutations in the RSPO1 gene can lead to conditions like palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and predispose individuals to certain types of alopecia.
