    regulates Wnt signaling, affecting hair follicle development and cycling

    Dickkopf-related protein 4 (Dkk4) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, which is important for cell growth, development, and differentiation. In the context of hair biology, Dkk4 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, and its dysregulation has been associated with conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.
