Ear hair canal is sometimes trimmed for cosmetic reasons. Excessive hair growth within or on the ear is known medically as "auricular hypertrichosis". Some men, particularly in the male population of India, have coarse hair growth along the lower portion of the helix, a condition referred to as "having "hairy pinnae"" ("hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita"). Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles in the dermis, or skin. With the exception of areas of glabrous skin, the human body is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. It is an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably keratin.
Ribosomal protein leader form an intrinsic transcription termination stem-loop. When cellular concentrations of the ribosomal protein are not high, they are occupied in the ribosome, and are not available in significant quantities to bind the mRNA leader. This leads to increased expression of the gene, which leads to the synthesis of more copies of the ribosomal protein. Many examples of ribosomal protein leaders are known in bacteria, including ribosomal protein L20 leader and ribosomal S15 leader. Ribosomal protein leader A ribosomal protein leader is a mechanism used in cells to control the cellular concentration of a protein that forms a part of the
