The top of the tongue is covered with little projections called filiform papillae. They are made up of a protein that also makes up hair , but they are not really hair. And under normal conditions, you would not even notice them. But certain conditions can cause them to elongate, giving the tongue a "hairy" appearance. This syndrome is called hairy tongue syndrome'. Several factors could be responsible for causing the filiform papillae to grow, including a bacterial infection, taking antibiotics, or having a very dry mouth. Which protein is found in filiform papillae?
