Abstract excerpt
Human involucrin (hINV) is a keratinocyte protein that is expressed in the suprabasal compartment of the epidermis and other stratifying surface epithelia. Involucrin gene expression is initiated early in the differentiation process and is maintained until terminal cell death. The distal regulatory region (DRR) is a segment of the hINV promoter (nucleotides -2473/-1953) that accurately recapitulates the normal...
