Autoinflammatory keratinization diseases [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017 Inflammation caused by the hyperactivation of innate immunity due to genetic factors occasionally leads to inflammatory cutaneous keratinization diseases. Such inflammatory keratinization diseases with genetic autoinflammatory mechanisms are called “autoinflammatory keratinization diseases” (AiKDs). We proposed a four-part definition of AiKDs.

Deacetylation via SIRT2 prevents keratin-mutation-associated injury and keratin aggregation
JCI Insight, 2023 Keratin (K) and other intermediate filament (IF) protein mutations at conserved arginines disrupt keratin filaments into aggregates and cause human epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS; K14-R125C) or predispose to mouse liver injury (K18-R90C).
