Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
19 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Keratins K8 and K18 are the major components of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton of simple epithelia. Increased levels of these keratins have been associated with invasive growth and progression to malignancy in different types of human and murine epithelial tumors (including skin tumors), and even in tumors from nonepithelial origin. However, it has not yet clarified whether K8/K18 expression in tumors is...
