Filaggrin is a filament-associated protein that binds to keratin fibers in epithelial cells. == Profilaggrin == Filaggrin monomers are tandemly clustered into a large, 350kDa protein precursor known as profilaggrin. In the epidermis, these structures are present in the keratohyalin granules in cells of the stratum granulosum. Profilaggrin undergoe...
