Abstract excerpt
Epican is a heparan/chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan form of CD44 and is expressed on the surface of keratinocytes from the basal layer to the granular layer of the epidermis. To analyze the adhesive properties of epican apart from the influence of other adhesive molecules found on keratinocytes,...
