    gene regulating hair follicle cell differentiation and hair cycle

    OVOL1 is a gene that plays a crucial role in the regulation of hair growth and development. It encodes a transcription factor that helps control the differentiation of hair follicle cells, influencing the transition from the growth phase (anagen) to the resting phase (telogen) of the hair cycle. Mutations or dysregulation of OVOL1 can be associated with hair disorders, including certain types of alopecia.
