Activity summary

Hornerin also known as Loricrin Keratin Intermediate Protein is an important structural protein with a mass of approximately 288 kDa. It plays a mechanical role in forming the cornified cell envelope essential for skin barrier function. Hornerin is expressed in the outermost layers of the epidermis and is abundant in keratinocytes which form the primary cell type of the skin's epidermis. As such its presence is associated with the process of skin differentiation.

Biological function summary

The function of Hornerin involves contributing to the structural integrity and resilience of the skin. This protein is not known to form part of a major complex but it cooperates with other proteins within the cornified envelope to reinforce the skin's protective barrier. Hornerin interacts with proteins like filaggrin and loricrin supporting the epidermis' ability to act as a barrier against environmental stresses and water loss.

Pathways

The function of Hornerin integrates within the skin barrier formation and epidermal differentiation processes. This protein fits into the skin barrier function pathway linking with other proteins like involucrin and transglutaminase critical for cross-linking proteins in the cornified envelope. Another pathway where Hornerin plays a role is in keratinocyte differentiation where it interacts with proteins in regulating the maturation and turnover of skin cells.

Associated diseases and disorders

Hornerin's involvement connects primarily to skin conditions such as psoriasis and ichthyosis. Altered Hornerin expression or function can contribute to defects in the skin barrier leading to increased vulnerability to these conditions. Related proteins such as filaggrin also play roles in these disorders further highlighting the importance of maintaining proper Hornerin function and regulation in skin health.
