Grainyhead-like 2 (GRHL2) inhibits keratinocyte differentiation through epigenetic mechanism
20 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
We recently identified Grainyhead-like 2 (GRHL2), a mammalian homolog of Grainyhead in Drosophila, to be a novel transcription factor that regulates hTERT gene expression and enhances proliferation of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). In the current study, we show that GRHL2 impairs keratinocyte differentiation through transcriptional inhibition of the genes clustered at the epidermal differentiation...
