Pax1 and RUNX2 are possible downstream effectors of prolactin's regulation of hair growth. Antagonizing the PRLR downregulates Pax1 and upregulates RUNX2. There should be a good synergistic effect with Wnt agonists like KY19382 or VPA.
Pax1 and other Pax genes are strongly
upregulated by prolactin. Pax1 is the gene with the greatest association with Androgenetic Alopecia after the androgen receptor. You can check your Androgenetic Alopecia risk on three of the Pax1 SNPs
here.
This is a tumor suppressor gene(anti-proliferative). It likely acts to shut down cell proliferation in the HF as if it were a tumor.

Androgenetic alopecia, known in men as male pattern baldness (male pattern baldness), is a very conspicuous condition that is particularly frequent among European men and thus contributes markedly to variation in physical appearance traits amongst Europeans. Recent ...

Androgenetic alopecia (Androgenetic Alopecia) is a well-characterized type of progressive hair loss commonly seen in men, with different prevalences in different ethnic populations. It is generally considered to be a polygenic heritable trait. Several susceptibility ...

On the other side of the coin prolactin has been shown to downregulate RUNX2, a protein that is important for stem cell differentiation and has a synergistic relationship with Wnt signaling. The RUNX family of genes is also closely associated with A.G.A.
Hyperprolactinemia caused by physiological or pathological conditions, such as those occurring during lactation and prolactinoma, respectively, results in progressive osteopenia. The underlying mechanisms, however, are controversial. Prolactin (PRL) may directly attenuate the functions of...
