Loricrin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LOR gene.[2][3][4]

Function

Loricrin is a major protein component of the cornified cell envelope found in terminally differentiated epidermal cells.[4]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the LOR gene are associated with Vohwinkel's syndrome and progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma, both inherited skin diseases.[4]
