Evolutionary diversification of epidermal barrier genes in amphibians

Abstract The epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) is a cluster of genes encoding components of the skin barrier in terrestrial vertebrates. EDC genes can be categorized as S100 fused-type protein (SFTP) genes such as filaggrin, which contain two coding exons, and single-coding-exon EDC (SEDC) gen...
