Epidermal Keratinocyte Proliferation (None)

Target
None
Molecular classification
Cellular Process
01

Overview

Epidermal keratinocyte proliferation is the process by which keratinocytes, the primary cell type in the epidermis, multiply. This process is essential for maintaining skin homeostasis, wound healing, and continuous epidermal renewal. It is regulated by growth factors (like EGF), transcription factors (like Epiprofin), and signaling pathways (ERK/Akt). Dysregulation can lead to hyperproliferative disorders, impaired wound healing, and increased cancer risk.
