| Research Abstract |
Epidermal barrier is crucial for survival of organisms. Homozygous gene disruption of a lipase-like protein LOG1 in mouse is associated with an abnormal water loss from skin and results in lethality at one day post-partum although the detailed mechanism is unknown. This study revealed an augmentation in water permeability and an abnormal lipid composition of stratum corneum in gene knockout mice. It was suggested that LOG1 is a novel transmembrane-type lipase which is involved in the metabolism of intercellular lipids of stratum corneum and is fundamentally important for epidermal barrier.
