Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Keratolytic

👉 The term "keratolytic" refers to a type of enzyme that breaks down keratin, which is a protein found in the hair and nails. Keratin is responsible for providing strength and elasticity to these tissues, but it also has a role in the development of the cell wall and other structures within the cells. When keratolytic enzymes are used, they break down the keratin protein into smaller fragments, releasing it from the cell. This process can be beneficial for hair and nails
