title: [Keratohyaline and epidermal keratihization].
abstract: A review is given about the present status of keratohyalin, his composition and his origin and also about "prekeratin". The suggestions about the role of keratohyalin and prekeratin in the synthesis of epidermal horny layer are discussed.
