Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Cell Death and Disease, 2020 Fibroblast growth factor 5 ( FGF5 ) is a famous dominant inhibitor of anagen phase of hair cycle. Mutations of FGF5 gene result in a longer wool in mice, donkeys, dogs, cats, and even in human eyelashes.
