LCE2B Gene Summary [Human]
This gene is one of the at least 20 genes expressed during epidermal differentiation and located on chromosomal band 1q21. This gene is involved in epidermal differentiation, and it is expressed at high levels in normal and psoriatic skin, but not in cultured keratinocytes or in any other tested cell types or tissues.

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human LCE2B often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
Subcellular Expression
Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
