该基因编码的蛋白质是一种中间丝相关蛋白，聚集了哺乳动物表皮的角蛋白中间丝。它最初被合成为一种多蛋白前体profilaggrin（由324a a的多个filaggrin单元组成），定位于角质透明蛋白颗粒中，随后被蛋白质水解成单个功能性filaggrin分子。该基因突变与寻常性鱼鳞病有关。[由RefSeq提供，2009年12月]
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.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
