Laminin 5 and Gelatinase Alterations in Mouse Skin Following Sulfur Mustard (SM) Exposure

Published: Jan 1, 2004
Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a genetic skin disease characterized by skin blistering, may be caused by mutations in any of a variety of genes that encode proteins required for maintaining the structural integrity of skin. Three of these genes, laminin-α3, laminin-β3, and laminin-γ2 produce separate polypeptides that together form the basement membrane protein, laminin 5. Disruption of laminin 5 protein causes skin blisters that may be further...
