It weighs approximately 248 kilodaltons and expresses mainly in the epidermis particularly in the stratum corneum. Its structure includes several repeat units similar in domain composition to the filaggrin protein which indicates its important roles in epidermal differentiation and hydration.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe FLG2 protein provides structural support essential for skin integrity and contributes to preventing water loss. It associates with keratin filaments as part of the epidermal cornified envelope. The protein helps maintain skin hydration by breaking down into free amino acids which improve skin moisture. FLG2 interacts with other proteins like filaggrin suggesting overlapping functions in skin homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe FLG2 protein significantly impacts the skin barrier formation and repair processes. It participates in the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) pathway and the key hydration pathway. FLG2 shares functional pathways with the filaggrin protein which also plays a role in forming the skin barrier by aggregating keratin filaments and releasing amino acids that maintain hydration and acid mantle of the skin.\u003cbr\u003e\nFLG2 associates with skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis vulgaris. Mutations or reduced expression in the FLG2 gene compromise the skin barrier leading to increased susceptibility to these conditions. In the context of atopic dermatitis its interaction with the filaggrin protein becomes apparent as both proteins being together or separately altered can exacerbate barrier defects highlighting their essential role in maintaining skin health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850166096041,"sku":"ab122011","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab122011","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
