    GlossaryKeratinocytes

    cells in the epidermis that produce protective keratin protein

    Keratinocytes are the primary type of cell found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. These cells produce keratin, a protein that helps protect the skin from environmental damage, pathogens, and water loss. They play a crucial role in the skin's barrier function and are involved in wound healing and the formation of hair and nails.
