Systematic identification and characterization of novel human skin-associated genes encoding membrane and secreted proteins.

Through bioinformatics analyses of a human gene expression database representing 105 different tissues and cell types, we identified 687 skin-associated genes that are selectively and highly expressed in human skin. Over 50 of these represent uncharacterized genes not previously associated with skin...
