Summary: A structural constituent of cytoskeleton and structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in keratinocyte differentiation and peptide cross-linking. Located in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is active in cornified envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; male reproductive system; sensory organ; skin; and thymus. Orthologous to human LORICRIN (loricrin cornified envelope precursor protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
