Phenotype triggers

  • normal activity of PRLR
    in hair_follicle
  • normal activity of AR
    in hair_follicle
    • Androgens have strong effects on hair growth and appear to act through the AR on dermal papilla cells. [1]
  • normal activity of ER-alpha
    in hair_follicle
    • Estrogens appear to stimulate hair growth in man, via prolonging the anagen phase of scalp hair growth by increasing cell proliferation rates and postponing their transition to the telogen phase. [1]
    • In the murine hair cycle ER alpha expression is maximal in tthe telogen follice. [2]
  • normal activity of ER-beta
    in hair_follicle
    • ER beta is strongly expressed in human scalp anagen hair follicles. [3]
    • Estrogens appear to stimulate hair growth in man, via prolonging the anagen phase of scalp hair growth by increasing cell proliferation rates and postponing their transition to the telogen phase.
