DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

HRNR (Hornerin) is a protein coding gene located on chromosome 1q21.3. Diseases associated with HRNR include:

Ichthyosis Vulgaris

Spastic paraplegia 47, Autosomal recessive

Atopic Dermatitis: A single nucleotide polymorphism within the gene has recently been linked to susceptibility to atopic dermatitis (AD) (Henry J et al 2011).

Associated pathways include the innate immune system.

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

The encoded HRNR protein shares the same characteristics as filaggrin, a key protein for keratinocyte differentiation. HRNR is a component of the cornified cell envelopes of the human epidermis. Its decreased expression in AD may contribute to the epidermal barrier defect observed in the disease. HRNR is a substrate of transglutaminase 3.
