As cells of the outer stratum granulosum (SG) transform into corneocytes, they generate a
rigid, chemically resistant,» 15 nm thick peripheral envelope, the cornified envelope
(CE)(Matoltsy, 1976; Steven and Steinert, 1994). CE formation begins with the deposition
initially of involucrin (Steinert and Marekov, 1997), followed by the subjacent, catalytic cross-
linking of several other peptide precursors (Steinert and Marekov, 1995, 1997), by the
keratinocyte-specific, Ca++ dependent enzyme, transglutaminase 1 (TG1)(Parenteau et al …
