Background

Involucrin?is a?protein?component of human skin and in humans is encoded by the?IVL?gene. It is a highly reactive, soluble, ?transglutaminase?substrate?protein?present in?keratinocytes?of?epidermisand other?stratified squamous epithelia. It first appears in the?cell?cytosol, but ultimately becomes cross-linked to?membrane proteins?by transglutaminase thus helping in the formation of an insoluble envelope beneath theplasma membrane?functioning as a?glutamyl?donor during assembly of the cornified envelope. Additionally, Involucrin is synthesised in the?stratum spinosum?and cross linked in the?stratum granulosum?by thetransglutaminase?enzyme that makes it highly stable. Thus it provides structural support to the cell, thereby allowing the cell to resist invasion by micro-organisms.
