Description

Other Name: RPTN; Repetin

Background: domain:Can be divided into a N-terminal domain with significant homology to S100-like calcium-binding proteins, a central domain containing a series of short tandem repeats, and two flanking segments with low homology to the consensus sequences of the central repeats.,function:Involved in the cornified cell envelope formation. Multifunctional epidermal matrix protein. Reversibly binds calcium.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,PTM:Potential substrate of transglutaminase. Some arginines are probably converted to citrullines by peptidylarginine deimidase.,similarity:Belongs to the S100-fused protein family.,similarity:Contains 2 EF-hand domains.,tissue specificity:Expression is scattered in the normal epidermis but strong in the acrosyringium, the inner hair root sheat and in the filiform papilli of the tongue.,
