COSMETIC USE OF PLAKOGLOBIN-TYPE PROTEINS
The present invention relates to the use, in particular cosmetic and/or therapeutic use, of plakoglobin, of polypeptides derived from this protein or of analogs thereof, of a nucleic sequence encoding such a polypeptide or of an agent for modulating the activity, the stability or the expression of such a polypeptide, in particular for stimulating terminal epithelial differentiation. The invention also relates to the use of plakoglobin, of polypeptides derived from this protein or of analogs thereof, or of a nucleic sequence encoding such a polypeptide, as a marker for evaluating a state of an epithelium.
