Targeted disruption of LIG‐1 gene results in psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia¹

Abstract excerpt

The gene encoding a transmembrane glycoprotein LIG-1, of which the extracellular region was organized with the leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains, was disrupted in mice by gene targeting. LIG-1-deficient mice developed a skin change on the tail and facial area after birth. The affected skin was histologically reminiscent of the epidermis in human common skin disease 'psoriasis'. LIG-1 was...
