FGF5 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 5): FGF5 is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the fibroblast growth factor family, which plays a role in cell growth, differentiation, and signaling. FGF5 regulates hair growth cycles and affects hair length across different species. It also plays a part in tissue development and repair, including functions in neural development. Abnormal FGF5 activity has been associated with certain diseases, such as cancer.
