Cdsn - corneodesmosin

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in corneocyte desquamation; negative regulation of cornification; and skin morphogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell-cell adhesion. Located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alopecia; hypotrichosis 2; and peeling skin syndrome. Orthologous to human CDSN (corneodesmosin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
