Background
The filaggrin-like protein encoded by this gene is upregulated by calcium, proteolyzed by calpain 1, and is involved in epithelial homeostasis. The encoded protein is required for proper cornification in skin, with defects in this gene being associated with skin diseases. This protein also has a function in skin barrier protection. In fact, in addition to providing a physical barrier, C-terminal fragments of this protein display antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015],
Function
similarity:Belongs to the S100-fused protein family.,similarity:Contains 10 filaggrin repeats.,similarity:Contains 2 EF-hand domains.,similarity:In the N-terminal section; belongs to the S-100 family.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Cytoplasmic granule . In the stratum corneum of the epidermis, dispersed diffusely throughout the cytoplasm, while in the stratum granulosum, localized within keratohyalin granules (PubMed:19384417) (PubMed:21531719). In granular keratinocytes and in lower corneocytes, colocalizes with calpain-1/CAPN1. .
Tissue expression
Expressed in skin, thymus, stomach and placenta, but not detected in heart, brain, liver, lung, bone marrow, small intestine, spleen, prostate, colon, adrenal gland, kidney, pancreas, mammary gland, bladder, thyroid, salivary gland and trachea. Weakly expressed in esophagus, tonsils and testis (at protein level). In the skin, strongly expressed in the upper stratum granulosum and lower stratum corneum, but not detected in the upper stratum corneum (at protein level) (PubMed:19384417) (PubMed:21531719). In scalp hair follicles, mainly restricted within the granular and cornified cells surrounding the infundibular outer root sheath, with weak expression in central and proximal outer root sheath (at protein level). Tends to be down-regulated in sporiatic lesions compared to non-lesional skin
