products description :
Filaggrins are an important class of the intermediate filament-associated proteins which interect with keratin intermediate filaments (Ifs) of terminally differentiating mammalian epidermis. Filaggrins exhibit wide species variations. Filaggrin also appears to be a target molecule for rheumatoid arthritis-specific auto-antibodies in humans. Filaggrin is expressed only in well differemtiated keratinized epithelial cells. The synthesis of filaggrin varies in types of ichthyosis, and with viral, premalignant and malignant conditions.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is an intermediate filament-associated protein that aggregates keratin intermediate filaments in mammalian epidermis. It is initially synthesized as a polyprotein precursor, profilaggrin (consisting of multiple filaggrin units of 324 aa each), which is localized in keratohyalin granules, and is subsequently proteolytically processed into individual functional filaggrin molecules. Mutations in this gene are associated with ichthyosis vulgaris.
uniprot summary :
FLG: Aggregates keratin intermediate filaments and promotes disulfide-bond formation among the intermediate filaments during terminal differentiation of mammalian epidermis. Defects in FLG are the cause of ichthyosis vulgaris (VI); also known as ichthyosis simplex. Ichthyosis vulgaris is the most common form of ichthyosis inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It is characterized by palmar hyperlinearity, keratosis pilaris and a fine scale that is most prominent over the lower abdomen, arms, and legs. Ichthyosis vulgaris is characterized histologically by absent or reduced keratohyalin granules in the epidermis and mild hyperkeratosis. The disease can be associated with frequent asthma, eczema or hay fever. Defects in FLG are a cause of susceptibility to dermatitis atopic type 2 (ATOD2). Atopic dermatitis is a complex, inflammatory disease with multiple alleles at several loci thought to be involved in the pathogenesis. It commonly begins in infancy or early childhood and is characterized by a chronic relapsing form of skin inflammation, a disturbance of epidermal barrier function that culminates in dry skin, and IgE- mediated sensitization to food and environmental allergens. It is manifested by lichenification, excoriation, and crusting, mainly on the flexural surfaces of the elbow and knee. Belongs to the S100-fused protein family. Protein type: Cytoskeletal. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q21.3. Cellular Component: cytoplasmic membrane-bound vesicle; intermediate filament; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein binding; calcium ion binding; structural molecule activity. Biological Process: keratinocyte differentiation; multicellular organismal development. Disease: Ichthyosis Vulgaris; Dermatitis, Atopic, 2
