Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "The identification of cetaceans as “natural knockout animals” for PSORS1C2 supports the hypothesis that PSORS1C2 has a primary function in terminal differentiation of keratinocytes and skin barrier function in a dry environment." 10.1111/exd.13272
Mutation Description "The PSORS1C2 genes of all 5 investigated species of cetaceans, carry, besides additional mutations in exon 2 (Suppl. Fig. S4), a common frame shift mutation in exon 1 that abolishes the expression of a PSORS1C2 in cetaceans (Fig. 2b)." 10.1111/exd.13272
