Bleomycin Hydrolase Is Regulated Biphasically in a Differentiation- and Cytokine-dependent Manner

Abstract excerpt

Loss-of-function mutation in the profilaggrin gene is a major risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD). Previously, we showed that a neutral cysteine protease, bleomycin hydrolase (BH), has a role in generating natural moisturizing factors, and calpain I is an upstream protease in the filaggrin degradation pathway. Here, we investigated the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of BH and the relevance of BH to AD....
