This article is about Hairless. For the human medical condition Alopecia universalis, see Alopecia universalis.
Hairless, also known as H, is a well-characterized Drosophila gene.[1] Many mutations to hairless are embryonic lethal; however, there are several viable hairless mutants.[2]
Hairless is involved in the Notch signaling pathway in Drosophila, acting as a suppressor of Notch signaling.[3]
