Suprabasin, a Novel Epidermal Differentiation Marker and Potential Cornified Envelope Precursor
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The suprabasin gene is a novel gene expressed in mouse and human differentiating keratinocytes. We identified a partial cDNA encoding suprabasin using a suppression subtractive hybridization method between the proliferative basal and differentiating suprabasal populations of the mouse epidermis. A 3' gene-specific probe hybridized to transcripts of 0.7- and 2.2-kb pairs on Northern blots with specific detection...
