ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to novel hair follicle growth factor (HFGF) proteins, genes encoding HFGFs, methods for preparing HFGF proteins and therapeutic uses of HFGF proteins. The HFGF proteins of the present invention have a characteristic reduced expression in hair follicles derived from alopecia patients and have a stimulatory effect on hair follicle cell proliferation. HFGF proteins may be used to prevent or treat alopecia and to promote or accelerate hair growth and hair follicle repair.
