IKKalpha is a p63 transcriptional target involved in the pathogenesis of ectodermal dysplasias.

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor p63 plays a pivotal role in the development and differentiation of the epidermis and epithelial appendages. Indeed, mutations in p63 are associated with a group of ectodermal dysplasias characterized by skin, limb, and craniofacial defects. It was hypothesized that p63 exerts its functions by activating specific genes during epidermal development, which in turn regulate epidermal...
