basic FUNCTION
  • cross-linked envelope protein of keratinocytes
  • keratinocyte protein that first appears in the cell cytosol, but ultimately becomes cross-linked to membrane proteins by transglutaminase
  • function as a flexible cross-bridging protein to provide tensile strength or rigidity to the cell envelope of the stratified squamous epithelia
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
