Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the granular layer of the epidermis (at protein level). Expressed in the epidermis of the ear (at protein level). |
Post Translational Modifications | Filaggrin is initially synthesized as a large, insoluble, highly phosphorylated precursor containing many tandem copies of 248 AA, which are not separated by large linker sequences. During terminal differentiation it is dephosphorylated and proteolytically cleaved. |
Function | Aggregates keratin intermediate filaments and promotes disulfide-bond formation among the intermediate filaments during terminal differentiation of mammalian epidermis. |
