approved gene symbol: HRNR. This protein is a member of the family of S100 proteins. In databanks the term S100A18 [S100 calcium binding protein A18] is being used.
Makino et al (2001) have identified Hornerin as a differentiation-specific marker in mouse skin. Hornerin is detected in the granular and cornified layers of the mature epidermis. In the granular cells of the epidermis, the hornerin protein is detected in keratohyalin granules together with profilaggrin. Hornerin protein is cleaved during the process of epidermal differentiation. Differentiation of primary mouse epidermal keratinocytes upregulates hornerin expression and is thought to play a role in
