Protein composition of cornified cell envelopes of epidermal keratinocytes
1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Terminally differentiated mammalian epidermal cells are lined with a 15 nm thick layer of proteins cross-linked by isodipeptide and disulfide bonds, called the cornified cell envelope (CE). A number of proteins, including involucrin, loricrin, cystatin A, filaggrin, a cysteine-rich protein (CRP) and the ‘small proline-rich’ proteins (SPRRs) have been reported to be components of this complex, but little...
