Entrez Summary: Involucrin, a component of the keratinocyte crosslinked envelope, is found in the cytoplasm and crosslinked to membrane proteins by transglutaminase. This gene is mapped to 1q21, among calpactin I light chain, trichohyalin, profillaggrin, loricrin, and calcyclin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
UniProt Summary: Part of the insoluble cornified cell envelope (CE) of stratified squamous epithelia.
