The hairless protein is important for skin, hair, and may influence cancer development.
research Non-apoptotic role for caspase-7 in hair follicles and the surrounding tissue
Caspase-7 has functions in skin and hair that are not related to cell death.
research Hairless Suppresses Vitamin D Receptor Transactivation in Human Keratinocytes
Hairless protein can block vitamin D activation in skin cells.
research Solubility of Structurally Complicated Materials: 3. Hair
Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
research 1326 Hes1 regulates anagen initiation and hair follicle regeneration through modulation of hedgehog signaling
research Characterization of the Human Hair Shaft Cuticle–Specific Keratin-Associated Protein 10 Family
KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.
research Hydrolyzed Hair Keratin
research Structure–property relationships of meta-kerateine biomaterials derived from human hair
Protein composition greatly affects the function of keratin biomaterials.
research Ultrastructural Localization of Hair Keratins in Human Scalp Hair Shafts as Revealed by Rapid-Freezing Immunocytochemistry.
Hair keratins are mainly on macrofibrils in the cortex and in the endocuticle in the cuticle.
research Role of the soluble epoxide hydrolase in the hair follicle stem cell homeostasis and hair growth
The enzyme sEH is important for hair growth and its inhibition could help treat hair loss.
research Partial Purification and Characterization of Two Distinct Types of Caspases from Human Epidermis
Two distinct caspases in human skin help with cell death and skin formation.

The study showed that a specific DNA sequence can control gene expression in hair growth areas of mice.
research The hairless gene mutated in congenital hair loss disorders encodes a novel nuclear receptor corepressor
The mutated hairless gene causes hair loss by acting as a new type of corepressor affecting thyroid hormone receptors.
research LPA-producing enzyme PA-PLA1α regulates hair follicle development by modulating EGFR signalling
The enzyme PA-PLA1α is important for proper hair follicle development.
research Insertional mutation of the hairless locus on mouse Chromosome 14
A gene mutation in mice causes permanent hair loss and skin issues.
research Tolerance induction by hair-specific keratins in murine alopecia areata
Nonimmunogenic forms of keratins K71 and K31 can delay and prevent alopecia areata.
research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins
Human hair is made up of different keratins, some strong and some weak, with specific types appearing at various stages of hair growth.
research Deficiency of the human cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin M/E causes hypotrichosis and dry skin
Lack of cystatin M/E causes thin hair and dry skin.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research Characterization of the proteins of guinea-pig hair and hair-follicle tissue
Guinea-pig hair and follicle proteins are mostly similar, but follicles have more group 2 proteins and fewer group 3 and 4 proteins.
