HR is a gene encoding Protein hairless. [5] [6] [7]

This gene encodes a protein whose function has been linked to hair growth. A similar protein in rat functions as a transcriptional corepressor for thyroid hormone and interacts with histone deacetylases. [7]

Human Genetics

Variations in this gene are involved in low levels of hair (baldness / alopecia / hypotrichosis) [8] Mutations in this gene in humans have been documented in cases of autosomal recessive congenital alopecia [9] and atrichia with papular lesions. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

The protein contains a Zinc finger domain. [12] [10]
