Forced Expression of Keratin 16 Alters the Adhesion, Differentiation, and Migration of Mouse Skin Keratinocytes
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Injury to the skin results in an induction of keratins K6, K16, and K17 concomitant with activation of keratinocytes for reepithelialization. Forced expression of human K16 in skin epithelia of transgenic mice causes a phenotype that mimics several aspects of keratinocyte activation. Two types of transgenic keratinocytes, with forced expression of either human K16 or a K16-C14 chimeric cDNA, were analyzed in...
