Immunocytochemical evidence for a possible role of cross-linked keratinocyte envelopes in stratum corneum cohesion.
1 Nov 1991
Abstract excerpt
Cross-linked cornified envelopes are cell structures specifically synthesized by terminally differentiating keratinocytes. They are composed of proteins deposited at the cell periphery under the plasma membrane, and can be purified from epidermis by physicochemical extractions. The resulting keratinocyte "shells" are highly insoluble structures devoid of cytoplasmic components. The rigidity of the stratum corneum...
