A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Abnormal Wool Growth and Alopecia of Artificially Reared Lambs
Lambs fed a liquid diet showed abnormal wool and skin, which improved with more B-vitamins, suggesting a link to B-vitamin deficiency.
research Proteins as Hair Styling Agents
Proteins like BSA and keratin can effectively style hair and protect it, offering eco-friendly alternatives to chemical products.
research Proteomic analysis identifies differentially expressed proteins participating in forming Type III brush hair in Yangtze River Delta white goat
Researchers found four key proteins that affect the development of a specific hair type in Yangtze River Delta white goats.
