    basic FUNCTION
  • regulating the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes during normal development and wound healing
  • also involved in the differentiation dependent regulation of human papillomavirus (HPV18)
  • may serve a regulatory function with respect to epidermal development
  • regulated the expression of a number of genes
  • such as SPRR2A or placental lactogen
  • likely to play a major role in the fine-tuning of keratinocyte terminal differentiation
  • plays a major role in epidermal development as it can inhibit KRT14 expression
  • able to effectively inhibit deltaNp63alpha transactivation of the KRT14 promoter
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
    nucleotide, transcription, regulation
