Filaggrin is a crucial structural protein in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. It is an essential protein for maintaining the morphology and function of keratinocytes in the barrier function of the stratum corneum. Dysfunction or deficiency of filaggrin is associated with the development of atopic dermatitis, and a lack of filaggrin can also cause dry skin.
