4014n/aENSG00000203782n/aP23490n/aNM_000427n/aNP_000418n/aLoricrin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LOR gene.

[3][4][5] Loricrin is a major protein component of the cornified cell envelope found in terminally differentiated epidermal cells.

[5] Loricrin is expressed in the granular layer of all keratinized epithelial cells of mammals tested including oral, esophageal and stomach mucosa of rodents, tracheal squamous metaplasia of vitamin A deficient hamster and estrogen induced squamous vaginal epithelium of rats.

[6] Mutations in the LOR gene are associated with Vohwinkel's syndrome and Camisa disease, both inherited skin diseases.
