Abstract excerpt
The mouse hairless gene is a crucial nuclear receptor gene associated with the structure of hair and skin. It encodes a putative zinc finger transcription factor, and is a transcriptional corepressor for thyroid hormone receptors. Hairless gene plays a critical role in maintaining the delicate balance between cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in the hair follicle as well as in the interfollicular...
