Proteomic analysis shows that the main constituent of subepidermal localised cutaneous amyloidosis is not galectin-7.

Abstract excerpt

Lichen or macular localised cutaneous amyloidoses have long been described as keratinic amyloidoses and believed to be due to the deposition of cytokeratin peptides originating from epidermis in the dermal papillae. However, recently it was suggested that galectin-7 is the causative protein for this type of amyloidosis. This was based on the detection of galectin-7 in a biopsy from a patient diagnosed with...
