Corneodesmosin
Introduction
Corneodesmosin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDSN gene.[1][2][3]
This gene encodes a protein found in corneodesmosomes, which localize to human epidermis and other cornified squamous epithelia. During maturation of the cornified layers, the protein undergoes a series of cleavages, which are thought to be required for desquamation. The gene is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region on chromosome 6.[3]
