Filaggrin (filament aggregating protein) is a filament-associated protein that binds to keratin fibers in epithelial cells. Ten to twelve filaggrin units are post-translationally hydrolized from a large profilaggrin precursor protein during terminal differentiation of epidermal cells. In humans, profilaggrin is encoded by the FLG gene, which is part of the S100 fused-type protein (SFTP) family within the epidermal differentiation complex on chromosome 1q21.Filaggrin is essential for the regulation of epidermal homeostasis. Within the stratum coeum, filaggrin monomers can become incorporated into the lipid envelope, which is responsible for the skin barrier function. Alteatively, these proteins can interact with keratin intermediate filaments. Filaggrin undergoes further processing in the upper stratum coeum to release free amino acids that assist in water retention. (Wiki)
