Protein attributes

Sequence length	1189 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	May act as a transcription factor that could act on to regulate one of the phases of hair growth.
Subcellular location	Nucleus.
Tissue specificity	Strongest expression of isoforms 1 and 2 is seen in the small intestine, weaker expression in brain and colon, and trace expression is found in liver, pancreas, spleen, thymus, stomach, salivary gland, appendix and trachea. Isoform 1 is always the most abundant. Isoform 1 is exclusively expressed at low levels in kidney and testis and isoform 2 exclusively at high levels in the skin. Ref.2 Ref.4
Involvement in disease	Defects in HR are the cause of alopecia universalis congenita (ALUNC) [MIM:203655]. ALUNC is a rare autosomal recessive form of hair loss characterized by hair follicles without hair. Ref.4 Ref.1 Ref.8 Defects in HR are the cause of atrichia with papular lesions (APL) [MIM:209500]; also known as congenital atrichia. APL is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by papillary lesions over most of the body and almost complete absence of hair.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 JmjC domain.
