Tissue specificity:Expressed strongly in the basal cell layer at the tips of rete-like prominences (RLPs) of adult dorsal tongue, outer root sheath (ORS) of hair follicle and skin epidermis (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10623468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14506658}.
Induction:During wound healing expression is suppressed by TGF-beta, TNF-alpha and to a lesser extent by epidermal and keratinocyte growth factors (EGF and KGF respectively). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10623468}.
Developmental stage:In neonatal mice, additional expression seen in the basal layer of the cornea, forestomach and esophagus (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7539810}.
Protein families:Intermediate filament family
