Molecular classification
Structural Proteins, Enzymes, Antimicrobial Peptides
01

Overview

The stratum corneum intercellular matrix proteins are a complex mixture of structural proteins, enzymes, and antimicrobial peptides that reside within the lipid-rich extracellular space of the stratum corneum. These proteins, including loricrin, involucrin, filaggrin, and corneodesmosin, play critical roles in maintaining skin barrier function, regulating desquamation, providing mechanical strength, and contributing to innate immunity. Their dysregulation is implicated in various skin disorders.
