  • Publication number: 20080051342
    Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of inhibiting hair growth, comprising decreasing the level of TRPS1 mRNA and/or protein in hair follicle cells of a subject. The present invention also provides for methods of promoting hair growth, comprising increasing the level of TRPS1 mRNA and/or protein in hair follicle cells of a subject. The level of TRPS1 may be decreased or increased either directly, for example by introducing, into a hair follicle cell, a TRPS1 mRNA or protein. Alternatively, the level of TRPS1 may be decreased or increased indirectly, by providing an agent that results in decreased or increased expression of an endogenous TRPS1 gene. The invention also provides for transgenic animals with aberrancies in TRPS1 expression, and for assay systems (including transgenic animals and cell-based systems) that may be used to identify agents that decrease or increase TRPS1 expression.
