Function
Protease responsible for filaggrin processing, essential for the maintenance of a proper epidermis organization.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Single-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed primarily in the granular layer of the epidermis and inner root sheath of hair follicles. In psoriatic skin, expressed throughout the stratum corneum. In ulcerated skin, expressed in the stratum granulosum of intact epidermis but almost absent from ulcerated regions. Expressed in differentiated areas of squamous cell carcinomas but not in undifferentiated tumors
Disease Association: Ichthyosis, lamellar, autosomal dominant (ADLI) : An autosomal dominant form of ichthyosis, a disorder of keratinization with abnormal differentiation and desquamation of the epidermis, resulting in abnormal skin scaling. ADLI is characterized by onset at birth or within the first months of life, skin scaling on the entire body with relative sparing of face, anterior chest, and abdomen, and palmoplantar keratoderma. Patients may manifest mild erythema and moderate pruritus. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
