Exons 5–15 of Kazrin Are Dispensable for Murine Epidermal Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
19 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Kazrin binds to periplakin and ARVCF catenin, and regulates adhesion and differentiation of cultured human keratinocytes. To explore kazrin function in vivo, we generated a kazrin gene-trap mouse in which only exons 1-4 were expressed, fused to β-galactosidase. On transient transfection, the protein encoded by exons 1-4 did not enter the nucleus, but did cause keratinocyte shape changes. The mice had no obvious...
