Multiple roles of integrin-linked kinase in epidermal development, maturation and pigmentation revealed by molecular profiling.
Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is an important scaffold protein that mediates a variety of cellular responses to integrin stimulation by extracellular matrix proteins. Mice with epidermis-restricted inactivation of the Ilk gene exhibit pleiotropic phenotypic defects, including impaired hair follicle m...
