Aberrant processing of profilaggrin. Equal amounts of protein extracts from wild-type (+/+), heterozygous (+/−), and homozygous mutant (−/−) epidermis were separated trough SDS-PAGE and subjected to Western blot analysis using specific antibodies against keratin 10 (K10), keratin 5 (K5), loricrin (Lor), β-actin (Act), filaggrin (Fil), and involucrin (Inv). Note the aberrant profilaggrin–filaggrin processing in the knockout epidermis with the complete loss of the filaggrin monomers and the accumulation of proteolytically derived intermediates (arrows).
