The functions of grainy head-like proteins in animals and fungi and the evolution of apical extracellular barriers.

The Grainy head (GRH) family of transcription factors are crucial for the development and repair of epidermal barriers in all animals in which they have been studied. This is a high-level functional conservation, as the known structural and enzymatic genes regulated by GRH proteins differ between sp...
