Onset of Keratin 17 Expression Coincides with the Definition of Major Epithelial Lineages during Skin Development
19 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
The type I keratin 17 (K17) shows a peculiar localization in human epithelial appendages including hair follicles, which undergo a growth cycle throughout adult life. Additionally K17 is induced, along with K6 and K16, early after acute injury to human skin. To gain further insights into its potential function(s), we cloned the mouse K17 gene and investigated its expression during skin development. Synthesis of...
