Large-scale identification of human genes implicated in epidermal barrier function
11 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: During epidermal differentiation, keratinocytes progressing through the suprabasal layers undergo complex and tightly regulated biochemical modifications leading to cornification and desquamation. The last living cells, the granular keratinocytes (GKs), produce almost all of the proteins and lipids required for the protective barrier function before their programmed cell death gives rise to...
