GlossaryLoricrin

protein crucial for skin's outermost layer integrity and resilience

Loricrin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation of the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum. It is a major component of the cornified cell envelope, which provides a barrier to protect against environmental damage and water loss. This protein is essential for maintaining the skin's integrity and resilience.
