    GlossaryKeratohyalin Granules

    tiny structures in skin cells aiding keratin production

    Keratohyalin granules are tiny structures found in the cells of the outer layer of the skin, specifically in the stratum granulosum. They play a crucial role in the process of keratinization, where skin cells produce keratin, a protein that helps form a protective barrier. These granules contain proteins like filaggrin, which help in the aggregation of keratin filaments, contributing to the skin's strength and resilience.
