FAMILY

cornifin (SPRR) family

CATEGORY

structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
text	cornifin

basic FUNCTION	keratinocyte protein that first appears in the cell cytosol, but ultimately becomes cross-linked to membrane proteins by transglutaminase
	role of SPRR1B during squamous differentiation of skin and respiratory epithelial cells
	likely coupled primarily to signals responsible for withdrawal from the proliferative state rather than the final stages of cellular quiescence
	having a role in the cell growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma stem cells
	has a role in cell growth by suppression of RASSF4
