Filaggrin antibody recognizes Filaggrin, a large epidermal structural protein encoded by the FLG gene that plays a central role in keratinocyte differentiation and formation of the skin barrier. Filaggrin is synthesized as a high-molecular-weight precursor, profilaggrin, which is stored in keratohyalin granules within the granular layer of the epidermis and subsequently processed into multiple functional Filaggrin monomers during terminal differentiation. These monomers aggregate keratin intermediate filaments, contributing to the mechanical strength and integrity of the stratum corneum.
Filaggrin expression is tightly linked to epidermal maturation and barrier function. Following its role in keratin filament aggregation, Filaggrin is further degraded into free amino acids and their derivatives, which contribute to natural moisturizing factors that regulate skin hydration, pH balance, and antimicrobial defense. Disruption of Filaggrin processing or expression compromises epidermal barrier integrity and alters cutaneous homeostasis.
Genetic variation or reduced expression of Filaggrin is strongly associated with common inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis vulgaris, and increased susceptibility to allergic sensitization. As a result, detection of Filaggrin expression is widely used in dermatopathology and skin biology research to evaluate epidermal differentiation status, barrier integrity, and disease-related alterations in stratified squamous epithelium.
FLG antibody, also referred to as Filaggrin antibody and filaggrin protein antibody in the literature, is frequently applied to visualize epidermal differentiation patterns and to distinguish normal from pathologically altered keratinization. Clone FLG/1563 is designed to recognize Filaggrin in research applications and produces characteristic staining within differentiated epidermal layers. This Filaggrin antibody is suitable for studies focused on skin biology, epithelial differentiation, and barrier-related disease mechanisms. Clone FLG/1563 is commonly used to support research into epidermal structure and Filaggrin-associated skin disorders.
Optimal dilution of the Filaggrin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 998-1104 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for this Filaggrin antibody.
Store the Filaggrin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
