FGF5 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 5): FGF5 is a gene that encodes a protein from the fibroblast growth factor family, which is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and signaling. FGF5 regulates hair growth cycles and influences hair length across species. It also contributes to tissue development and repair, including roles in neural development. Abnormal FGF5 activity has been linked to certain diseases, including cancer.
