Recombinant Human Filaggrin/FLG is a partial-length protein expressed with an N-terminal 6xHis-tag in the yeast. Its expression region corresponds to 3838-4061aa of human FLG protein. Its purity was determined by SDS-PAGE and reached up to 90%. This recombinant FLG protein may be used to synthesize antibodies against FLG or on the studies of FLG-associated signal transduction. FLG proteins in-stock are available. FLG is an epidermal differentiation protein that plays a fundamental role in the development and maintenance of the skin barrier. The binding of FLG with the intermediate keratin filaments leads to their aggregation and compaction, making cells collapse and flattening that is required for squame biogenesis. Within the squames, FLG undergoes further proteolysis and degrade into hygroscopic amino acids and other derivatives, which make up the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) responsible for water retention in the stratum corneum. FLG mutations perturb the skin barrier function, which causes ichthyosis vulgaris, increase the risk of atopic dermatitis and other atopic diseases.

Target Background
The protein encoded by this gene is an intermediate filament-associated protein that aggregates keratin intermediate filaments in mammalian epidermis. It is initially synthesized as a polyprotein precursor, profilaggrin (consisting of multiple filaggrin units of 324 aa each), which is localized in keratohyalin granules, and is subsequently proteolytically processed into individual functional filaggrin molecules. Mutations in this gene are associated with ichthyosis vulgaris.
