Plectin in Skin Fragility Disorders

Plectin is a multi-faceted, 500 kDa-large protein, which due to its expression in different isoforms and distinct organs acts diversely as a cytoskeletal crosslinker and signaling scaffold.It functions as a mediator of keratinocyte mechanical stability in the skin, primarily through linking intermediate Back Pad filaments to hemidesmosomes.Skin fra
