What Organelles Keratinocytes Have And Which Ones Are Most Important To The Cell?
Hi! I m studying Keratinocytes for a science project at my school. For the project I need to know about what organelles keratinocytes have and which ones are most important to the cell. If you could give me some information that would be great! Thanks
Hello and welcome to HCM, Keratinocytes are cells present in the epidermis of skin. The function of keratinocytes is to secrete keratin. These cells provide protection and maintain homeostasis of the underlying structures. The most important organelle responsible for function of the keratinocytes is the cytoskeleton called cytokeratin (CK). Cytokeratin is present in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
